The vignerons whom I most respect in the world are flexible and try to put out an excellent product year in and year out and sometimes have to put on a happy face and drink the medicine. No one wants to compromise, but that's the difference between adult and adolescent thinking.

Somehow I knew I could depend on you to boil it down.
But no "fuck you!" - I'm miffed.
Best, Jim

Language that I understand it's welcome. Every "wine geek" should spend a period of time either making or selling wine for a living. First hand reality is something one should always deal with intelligently.

I hate to admit it, but the monkey speaks truth here.

I'd rather make it. Far, far easier than selling it.

I'd rather be able to afford to buy it.

Thanks for the honesty and the insight, Jim.

I just want to drink good wine--no interest in making, selling or blogging about wine.
