  as obnoxious as he may be... gary vaynerchuk tastes & rates wine & has strong opinions & interesting descriptions but what i like is that he always encourages folks to trust their own palette... & try new things

  Thanks for mentioning La Rioja, Spain! Excellent wine, but not often talked about.

  Wine is an exploration. To deride the way wines is made today is to fail to recognize what I will call the democratization of wine. Year after year wine broadens its audience here in the US and though there is a place for the wines and the old world techniques your guest is promoting they are hardly going to disappear. We need the larger produces to bring poeple in to the "wine culture". Once in, those who are interested can find their way to the "authentic" wines. Or if they choose they can enjoy the wine in a truly authentic way as a complement to a meal which warms are hearts and faces and reminds us of the gifts of God and Nature. In the end the only maxum should be; If you like it Drink it.
