These categories are ridiculous. If I were a winemaker, I'd be offended at the cubbyholing. It's worse than Trader Joe's!
I would guess that most of the people who read this blog are in New York City. It doesn't take much time or money to take full advantage of the amazing wine stores we have here, such as Astor and Warehouse downtown. I have a cabinet full of bottles in the $8 to $12 range that are reliably good, bought under advice from excellent salespeople.
I am all for making wine accessible, and I am no wine snob. But there's more to a glass of wine than "juicy." If you want juicy, drink juice! Leland on Mar 3, 2008
