Wine verses food position

[Randy Caparoso]

No vendetta, Mr. Dutton. I don't know the dude; and believe it or not, I've read the book from cover to cover with great interest, and was greatly entertained. I even purchased copies for colleagues, and sent one to my daughter, who is working at a winery.

But those who know me also know that I favor open mindedness. They should read the Avenger for all the good stuff, and discard what they don't think is so good. But above all, they should never, never read it -- or any other publication like this -- as gospel. You and I may not like oaky Chardonnay, but why waste paper and energy telling people they're wrong if they do? We're talking wine here, not law and order. There are few things as democratic as gastronomic taste. We should revel in it!
