foray into france

[stevebody]

I thought the fact of subjectivity was pretty much a universal understanding on a site like this. How can anything be objective that involves anyone's tastes vs. the next guy's? And I didn't "Rip" an entire region. I just suggested that there is plenty of time to tackle a subject as complicated as Bordeaux - and it's storied subtleties - after the person's tastes had shifted away from the big CA wines he mentioned in the first post. If you're a fan of those big CA wines, YOU WILL be disappointed by most Bordeaux. They ain't big and they ain't all that fruity and the French not only admit those two things, they revel in them. I tried to suggest a course ofg action to a particular question. You may not like the suggestion but it has worked for me and half a dozen other people I know.
