People are more comfortable learning about wine because now they can just Google, you know, 'Soave,' and say, 'Oh, O.K., cool.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Wine is wonderful stuff. But so many people are put off by the snobbery of it.
I don't try to match wine with food, I just drink what I like. And I think a lot of people are going towards that now, which never used to be in the past.
I want people to know their palate is a snowflake. We all like different things. Why should we all have the same taste in wines?
Wine to me is something that brings people together. Wine does promote conversation and promote civility, but it's also fascinating. It's the greatest subject to study. No matter how much you learn, every vintage is going to come at you with different factors that make you have to think again.
I'm really, really dumb about describing wine, but I like wine that's full-bodied and dry.
Essentially, wines are fermented grape juice, so I'm trying to make the point that the wine world is about scores and marketing and kind of creating a scarce resource where they don't really exist.
I think I'm like wine. The older I get, the better I get.
Wine is connected to abundance.
I think wine is such a big universe that it's kind of like food - it's intimidating to a lot of people, myself included.
Wine is something to enjoy. We get sick and tired of people who pick it apart and talk about its 'saucy nuances.'
