Would folks want me to cross post that content here, or just leave it there, or not post at all, or have Sharon post it?

Ooh, free content!

Can't the twins take care of it? Or do you have WD blocked by parental controls?

What’s the next wine destination on your list?

I am very much looking forward to a trip to North Carolina where there is a thriving wine culture in the research triangle near Raleigh Durham. We often think about wine as a bicoastal phenomenon, San Francisco and New York and a couple of isolated urban areas in between. But there are all sorts of hot pockets of wine fascination. I want to go down there and capture the spirit of what’s going on.

 

[Jeff Grossman]

Nice! And thanks for the link.

Congrats Nathan. Any site where Bordeaux is second from last on the "France" pull down menu looks great to me. Plus, plenty of Baudry Chinon. I'm sure you'll be a hit.

Well...Jura is last, so somehow I don't think those are in priority order...

Congrats Nathan.

Why are you more critical of tasting notes than points?

I understand why people are drawn to points; they are useful for those who like wine but have decided that they don’t want to make a commitment to learning about it. If you want to transcend the need for points, you do have to make a commitment. Tasting notes are just self-indulgent. I really don’t see any use for them except stoking an author’s ego or a publication’s collective ego.

Fine. He can hire the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe to write his mysterious tasting notes.

Speaking for me, I have a day job; I am neither an educator nor a wine writer. My TNs serve the purpose of reminding me whether to buy a wine again.

Quién es mas modest? I thought tasting notes (at least for me) were the peacock tail of a taster's quill.

(Screw da mixed metaphor.)

Well, that was nice. Fifi too.
