What's your view?

I read an interview given by a local retailer here in Sacramento. He is so disgusted with wineries pumping up the alcohol in red wines that he refuses to buy wines over 14.5% alcohol for his store.

I totally agree with him. I'm tired of feeling wiped out after 2 glasses of wine that are so high in alcohol they should be considered port!!

It's also disturbing to me (studying for the MS) that Burgundian producers are breaking the law and sneaking Syrah into their Pinot's so Robert Parker will rate them. How am I going to get to know these wines if they are cheating? I'll never pass this test!

I would like your opinions. All are welcome.
