DISQUS

Is that a Coral Mustang back label I see? To comment on the blogging- I am way beyond 30.......I think that many of us just don't have the time. I find that I don't keep up on my blog nearly as well as I should due to time constraints. From where I am, age is all across the board on the blogging front. I feel that I actually see many 'older' folks that have the time (retired) or it is part of their marketing strategy for a business. The last comment about blogging is that, I know that when I started in, there was some question about the validity/seriousness of the writing. Was this something only kids did, could the info be trusted, was it just opinionated crazies? Yes, blogs are opinions,day to day goings on, informational and I think that the acceptance is growing- but we still need more that 24 hrs in a day to absorb all of the great blogs out there! The Mustang Winemaker- back to the grapes.......and her blog!

I had to chuckle along with el jefe as another New Spain, er, um, Californian. This will be a tough decision since there are Rhone, Bordeaux, Spanish, Italian, Portugal grape varietals all around and in close proximity- though I suppose the area I am in is best known for, you guessed it, Pinot noir! I will be in San Francisco at a seminar, but maybe there will be great find there!

Wow, I wish more people would look at wines in their own 'light' and not what a wine critics 100pt score is. Unfortunately with so many wines out there it is hard not to look to these professionals. I love your '100 pt' score- did it please your palate and measure up to what you feel that wine should be, your own benchmark.


As a winemaker and owner of a small winery these scores can sometimes be frustrating. The same wine to three different critics and the scores can have a wide range of scores. This means that wineries have to pick and choose who they send their wines to....



My greatest pleasure is to enjoy wine and see others do the same- no fancy words, or that it just got a 93 from Parker- but that it is made well, can be consumed when you want it which is usually soon after purchase, food friendly, and people friendly. Wine is for enjoyment whether that be watching the rain at home alone or with a group of your best friends over a great meal.
