Next thing you know, he'll be name-dropping Levi and going to tastings at Convivio.

He'll have to start with name-dropping Asimov first.

I've been thinking of having a Cornelissen luncheon/tasting.
I'll just need everyone to sign a waiver first.
Whatever might be your problem with the vino is not the responsibility of C., and so forth.
Of course, we would feature wines back to the "intellectual period".
Seriously, this is New York. We can do Intellectual.
Right?

Oh, wait...the "C" in this case is Convivio, not Cornelissen. Got it.

I would love to do a Cornelissen dinner - have wanted to try Magma for awhile - although I might skip the mulch/compost wine.

"But winegrowers like Frank Cornelissen arent really interested in conventional notions of 'greatness'.
Really.
If this is true, and I can't think just now why it wouldn't be, then why did Matt Kramer expend all this energy climbing through drenching rain and whatnot to talk to somebody who really doesn't give a shit what anybody thinks about his wines? So I'll go out and move heaven and earth (figuratively speaking, of course) and spend a whole lot of money for a wine that I already know may or may not prove to be drinkable? Is that it?
And while I'm at it, where did this idiotic "winegrowers" coinage come from? Wine isn't "grown." Grapes are grown and made into wine.

I don't think it's worthwhile parsing Mr. Kramer. The point is that FC is pretty radical and uncompromising.
Greatness is, to rely on a timeworn clich, in the eye of the beholder. Most of the "top" wines from the "classic" regions are made taking few if any risks, FC takes almost nothing but risks. The fascination comes from what such risk taking might bring.
