Ranting on the nature of wine writing

[winoweenie]

Hi Tyrell and welcome to the board. As I read your post you're not pointing your finger at our board but wine journalism in general, right? If not, don't read on. As foodie and others point out the glamourization business sells. Cars, Clothes, Diamonds, Food etc. Wine has been caught up in this with the emergance of the Specutater as a force. Pretty tough putting out a 140 to 160 page glossy on tasting notes alone every month.So they moved wine into the glamour Bix and played down the fact it's truely just an escapee from the food section of the Wed tabloid. They finally grudgeingly put in a " Best Buy " catagory. As has been advised, and rightly so, don't worry about the Granges of the world. Enjoy the Rosemount Diamonds that abound out there until you hit the Powerball. WW
