Rant: Is it just me?

[Thomas]

After all is said, Roberto has it spot on: when the consumer tastes and likes a wine, that is what the consumer buys. The problem has been, but is changing, that there weren't enough of those consumers across the nation, so the magazines, gurus and oak barrel makers held sway.

Like Roberto, I believe times have changed with consumers. That is why if I ever get my retail license in this so-called cosmopolitan NY City, I shall be both as wealthy and as irreverant as Roberto.

Nice to hear your voice again, R. Also good to hear that you like the "correct" music...that is a joke w.w.--do not attack!
