WINE LIVES!

To see the multitudes at two events recently, you’d be left to believe that all the sturm and drang that has been swirling around wine for the last two years has been nothing but a bunch of li’l chickens believing the sky has fallen.

After telling him I think the king of U.S. wine is being put to a new kind of test, Moulton parries with, “I feel Napa Valley is on the offensive and not the defensive.”

I love Napa Valley. While my wine journalism didn’t begin there, it's where I learned about wine from some of the nicest and smartest people.

This is how AI will get us. Not just by eliminating our jobs – which psychologically is the backbone of human identity – but by ringing the humanness out of us. By allowing machines to tell us what to do.

As I began writing about wine, my charge was to the readers ... Not to the vintners. And not to the winemakers.

I WRITE ONLY FOR YOU https://t.co/Ws2NxzjT64

Can we ever get past these bourgeois rascist & misogynist wine notions? Unfortunately, a journalist and a wine educator did those very things. See my lastest post here:

Wineries: Cap bottles at $100; tasting fees to $50
Restaurants: No entrée should be more than $30. Wines by the glass should be more than $15
Hotels: No room no more than $400

I don’t settle for sparkling wine. I love Champagne on any occasion, including getting up in the morning, for birthdays, anniversaries, bris’s.

Only thing is – I can’t afford Champagne

The citizens of Sausalito are striving diligently – in that earnest Marin sort of way – to hold up their end in the current non-de rigueur drinking climate.

You'd be missing out if you don't try inexpensive, delicious DRY white wines from Hungary -- in spite of a dictator.

Recently I attended a séance where I spoke with Robert Mondavi. His mantra was two-fold: “Everything in moderation” and “A rising tide raises all boats.”

I'M GIVING THE KID WHO DRANK WINE THE PULITZER https://t.co/4iYh20bPFI

SEEKING HONESTY & INTEGRITY IN WINE WRITING
"My philosophy when I myself write about wines for publication is that I’m writing for the consumer – not the winery -- the folks who spend their good money on wine. Which is likely, you dear reader."

"... Blueberries or cantaloupes or even coffee infused with wine, might be the key to appealing to folks under, let’s say, 50 years of age." What do you think?

MAYBE PUTTING STRAWBERRIES, CHERRIES or CINNAMON in WINE IS THE ANSWER https://t.co/zkeazPM2wJ

See my latest Substack newsletter, Wine is Bougie, in which I write: "To many, wine is just another way to take you out of yourself. For me, wine is a way for me to get into myself."
