Wine Subversion! Eric Asimov of The New York Times just wrote an article on wine geeks which is truthful, mentions many of my good friends and is personally flattering. What will be next....a Lettie Teague feature in Food & Wine Magazine? It is an indication of how far all our marginal chattering has gone that this article made its way into print. The David Lillies and Mike Wheelers and Arnaud Erharts and SF Joes and Robert Callahans and Eddie Wrinkermans and a whole cast of supporting characters have gotten a range of delicious wines into the hands of so many people thirsting for authenticity and so tired of spoofdom. And while Eric Asimov cannot credit himself, his column and blog have been a great aid to the entire movement. I suggest we all go out today and buy a bottle of crappy industrial wine and celebrate all the choice we now have! Alternatively, we could buy something which is smoky, with vanilla overtones and is redolent of something-or-other. |
