2010 the Year when wine left the beverage world to become...

[Brézème]

...Conceptual art.

Alice (the Harold Rosenberg of the wine world obviously) in a more than moving post on her blog, made me realize that I am totally off the stream of the future (present?) of wine.

I spent 30 minutes trying to figure out where these people grow their grapes, how they do it, what kind of... Then I realized I was far away from the whole idea.

That 2009 Frank Peillot Mondeuse I drank while lurking on the wine blogs is such a pretty thing, though. Even in this ugly conceptless glass bottle...

Alice, I don't know if I want to thank you for being an eye opener, or blame you for my future metaphysical questionings.

Tonight I have to admit I feel like a bit lost and old.

Idiot. Terroir is so last century. Revolutionary credentials are all that matter now.

BTW, what's your beef with Harold Rosenberg?

 

[Levi Dalton]

Anybody commenting here actually try the wines yet?

I thought they were notable.

Of course, I am not a winemaker.

Better yet, I only scanned the blog post.

It's all meta to me.

Oh, man. You have been bringing the funny stuff lately, I got to say.

Work let up a bit, then?

Also, com'on people: GREEN not RED.

Is this a put down or something? Like we're supposed to feel bad or stupid for commenting without trying the wines?

Bad or stupid, no. Uninformed, yes.

Bad or stupid, no. Uninformed, yes.

Actual experience after a while is overrated. Just feed the data.

My model can predict those wines with 94% accuracy.

I'll tell you what, the Lucci Pinot Gris totally took me by surprise.

I'm a statistician, we are always looking for the outliers.

I'll try it, if I get a chance.
