How important is a wine’s story for your appreciation?

I love a good story! I always seek out wines with an interesting story behind them. I take the wine’s story into consideration, but also consider price, reviews and other factors before trying it. I don’t care about the story; I like consistent wines that I’m already familiar with. I don’t care about the story; I’ll try anything new, but taste is all that matters to me.
