Italian Food Night

"They are trying to be something instead of being themselves."

wineguru, you said a mouthful there. I have been hammering home that message in my classes for years. Never will understand (well, I understand--just don't agree with it) why a producer would want us to drink his/her wine because it is a lot like someone else's wine.

The last wine pourer at a tasting who said to me that his Gewurztraminer had been produced in the Alsatian style was sorry he ever met me, especially after I tasted the wine to find that it had been produced in a style I had never tasted from Alsace...
