Two Interesting Things I Have Learned in North Carolina
There's a slew of stores, consumers and restaurants interested in real wines here in North Carolina. I'm currently holed up in the luxurious Millenium Hotel in Durham, and having a great time meeting people in the market.
The two interesting things I've learned are:
(1) There is a spreading fear in the wine community over the impending "Millerization" of Spanish wine. I was initially puzzled by this phrase, but then realized it is a reference to Dr. Jay Miller's recent ascendency to The Wine Advocates Spanish wine reviewer position.
(2) No one under the age of 45 has ever seen the The Grand Illusion, Jean Renoir's classic 1937 film. Someone at dinner tonight in Chapel Hill connected this to Dr. Jay Miller, but frankly, I can't see any connection whatsoever.
