Good Reading

[Thomas]

As you and I said, cannot beat the tasting experience, no matter how many books one reads.

Perhaps this is for the Rant section, but just a comment on the Dummies stuff.

When I operated a tasting room I struggled daily with how best to approach the subject of wine ignorance. A vexing problem was that many people passing through seemed to not only be ignorant about wine (among other things) but they seemed to enjoy telling others of their ignorance, like it was a badge. And they were the hardest to enlighten.

I remember in grade school how, once teachers labelled the "dummies", it seemed even more difficult for those kids to learn.
