Vinexpo 2007! Vinexpo has become a launching pad for counter-Vinexpo tastings organized outside of the official show. For four days we hopped from one great tasting to another, all of which had nothing to do with the official proceedings. The anti-Vinexpo world of vignerons doing real work in real vineyards and making real wine might be small, but there is a lot of energy and a lot of great wine being made. Denyse and I actually went to the actual Vinexpo for three hours and twenty-five minutes to remind ourselves how depressing the big wine world is, it all its industrial splendor. It was worse than I imagined! |
