One of our goals is to, if you will, de-snobbify the whole wine experience, to make wine something all can enjoy and not be intimidated by. Look at what is being missed! I listen to the videos on the wine blogs, and listen to the "experts" go on and on in great detail about how wine wine tastes to the point that it sounds like they are rehearsing a play. One expert talked about subtle hints of cabbage and cauliflower and asparagus!! All this in a blended table wine? Oh yes, he simply gushed over the fact that the NY Jets have a new QB. But then he has a vested interest in wine where as I make it as a hobby and to win medals at state fairs and so forth. Thanks, be well! To quote Arastaphanes "quick give me a beaker of wine so I may wet my brain and say something clever." 741451@blogcritics.org Fri, 22 Aug 2008 21:50:59 EDT
