Very Interesting article. But, I also find that some wine are just for the label. Simply because the wine is not as exceptional, as something I would buy in a sleepy town wineshop in Bodega Bay, California or small village in Burgundy, France.

Small production, family owned, organic wine is the future!Hey... but that's the great thing about wine. It's all up to you!? And what's in your wallet......

Time for the Hitchhikers Guide to Wine Galaxy!

EXPLORE!!!

Break out of your comfort zone and adventure for half the price!

For the record: I will always get the client what they want. I just like the new and upcoming more. I usually find what they are looking for, and then they ask ..."What are you drinking, these days?" That's when the magic happens. Nice thing is some of my tough clients, are now listening to me. Feels good. My opinion matters. I find very old and good boutique, quality wine, without the label....mumble jumble.....but quality. I feel, staying diverse is good for business and well being! Hey.......I have been shamed too, by not liking something, that other rave about. But, but laugh at the money they spend on pretension.

And curiosity is how I find myself wandering through these little towns in France. Either on my bike, in the countryside. Or park the car and I just walking through these villages. I see people outside, or I see an old man reading a book with a nice glass of wine, or I see a lady with her kids trying to desperately enjoy that glass of wine, and I also see myself.... and ask... "what am I going to try today" is my question. What am I going to drink today and why?! I'm always in the places you would never imagine.... like farmers markets, someones kid's birthday party...who just happen to be winemakers. Or some hole in the wall, on some side street....you think murder? Or dégustation?! I take my chances....lol

But these experiences broaden the horizons and I refuse to let someone make me feel shitty for saying they're spending a f'n car payment for a bottle of wine.

As a friend mentioned.....Get out or your comfort zone, and let curiosity be your guide!
