Wine Reviews And Hard Work
 
The wine business is so fascinating.  You meet people from around the world that share the same passion.  So often, we look to the far reaches of the distant shore to find these gems.  Recently, I met a nice young man from Sussex County.  He has been making wine with his family since he was five years old.  Over the course of the last 35 years, he has gotten pretty good.
 
He brought by a case of his wines to taste last week and with the exception of one bottle that had cork taint, they were some of the best wines that I have tasted this year.  He said, "it is really hard to make good wine."  When he said that to me, I realized how hard it is to do anything really well.  The details seem overwhelming to the casual observer and I am sure that many people would never begin such an undertaking.  When I taste wine, I rarely think about the labor, the thousands of miles it has traveled and myriad of details involved.  I am usually writing notes like: nice aromatics, high alcohol, great value.  There have been a few wines like the "Armance B" and the Molly Dooker Maitre D.

In the blog from 2 weeks ago, I mentioned that on March 13th we will be tasting an amazing merlot.   There is no doubt in my mind that this wine has a very unique story with layers of complexity.  I have always referred to these types of things as having sophisticated simplicity.  The details are in the background and all we see are smiling faces when the wine hits the lips.
 
March 13th - mark your calendar!
