What's your view?

It's Darrel's shop. He can run it anyway he pleases. Seems silly to me though. There is a great amount of wine out there with higher than 14.5% alc. But, there is also a load of great wine with less than 14.5%.

I couldn't imagine what in my cellar I'd have to get rid of to comply with such a "rule". No more Cali Zins, Napa Cabs, Aussie... well just about everything except Western Oz, New world Spain, new world Italy, a load of Central Coast Cali, and many others.

Then, there's always the issue of what's being printed on the label and what's in the juice.

But like I said, It's his store. He's been into wine longer than I've been alive. So I respect Mr. Corti's decision.

But I certainly won't let a little thing like alcohol come between me and some great juice.

As to your other comment, Robert Parker doesn't rate Burgundy. Not the first time I've heard that rumor, but it simply is not logical.
