How is this still (and EVEN MORE) true today??

“We are being led astray. We are going too far in our efforts to make constantly bigger and more powerful wines. As far as the reds are concerned, extraction is sought to a fault. Production of dark, fleshy, rich wines that end up proving soul-less and monolithic is too encouraged. These mastodons do not necessarily become more harmonious when they achieve maturity. Wines that impress…then deceive and bore.”

—Raoul Salama “The Return to Finesse” in La R***e du Vin in 1993 (!)

Hi Friends! I am working on a project for one of my retailers and need some consumer feed back on wine clubs (no not the MLM's or subscriptions where they send you wine from fake wineries). This would be a monthly curated service, possibly with a pickup event to taste and learn about the wines each month. It might even be right here in my town of Delano ;)

But I need your input to help make it good, so please take my short, 10 question survey to help me dial in what people (YOU) want -https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ZJTVXC6
