The Zinquisition

Various ruminations and observations regarding the bizarre and otherwise incomprehensible happenings in the wine industry.

SAINT VINI'S CREDO I believe that wine is a beverage that should be enjoyed frequently, alone or with meals. I believe that wine, since it is made from a fruit, should produce a liquid reminiscent of that fruit, not cedar, moss, pipe tobacco, barnyards, manure, pencil lead, or band aids. As such, I believe that good wine can come from any country, but it must be labeled in such a way that the consumer doesn't need an atlas and a wine encyclopedia to figure out what's in the bottle. I believe that the United States should not trail the civilized world in wine consumption per capita and that neo-prohibitionists, wine snobs, and liquor distributors are all joined in a trilateral commission to hinder wine consumption. I believe that wine needs to lose its elitist image by embracing alternative packaging, alternative closures, non-vintage wines, stronger branding, and lower retail prices. I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last........uh....sorry, I got carried away.

...a Huge Thank You...

I’ve now had more than 10,000 visits! Thanks to all of you who have stopped by.

Either there are a number of people who find something of interest in this blog, or there’s only 4 people who visit & revisit time after time, and don’t have anything better to do with their days…

Cheers!

Tom said...: Huge,

It's clearly the former, not the latter.

Congrats! But there's one thing I've wanted to ask. All the time I've been reading "Huge Johnson's World of Wine" I've yet to figure out where you stand on the issue of Biodynamics. You've been so vague!

Keep it up
