History of Riesling

[Thomas]

Randy, are you missing my point on purpose, or has this thread gone on so long that you have lost the point completely?

Early on, you cited your experience in your restaurants across the country as a barometer for the general direction of wine consumption in America. I simply do not believe that claim.

The experience (with wine) in fine dining is not the same as the experience in retailing. In many cases, the audience is not the same. And so, what I am saying is that your experience in your restaurants does not reflect the general consumer trade out there; and since you are open-minded, I know you can entertain the possibility that it might be true, unless of course you work in distribution and retailing and disagree with what I claim to have seen.

Winoweenie--Don't take us too seriously. You have given us a reason to beat up on you, but only in fun. Yet, you haven't answered my question. What is it about white wine that turns you off? We'll talk about New York City later....
