It's almost more of an allegory than it is a piece about wine... <br /><br />You are my Aesop, man...

It's one of the things I love most about wine - exploring new trends and producers, then returning to something you've really enjoyed in the past but not recently, and suddenly being hooked again. <br /><br />And old, mature Bordeaux can be something really special. We should drink some soon.Salilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02024757873081383487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-62163100874476698132012-11-21T16:22:45.791-05:002012-11-21T16:22:45.791-05:00Thanks for this.

It's bolstering too to feel your enthusiasm for the wine in this particular post--to know that is from you (and thus reflects something of how you are feeling), and that it is an appreciation shared by those in love with wine. <br /><br />There are write ups you do (as with anyone) that read as more of an intellectual reflection on something you've investigated recently. I like that sort of writing. This one reads as arising from the moment of the wine itself, whatever it may be. The experiential feel of that is something I appreciate.<br /><br />Cheers to you this holiday season!Lily-Elaine Hawk Wakawakahttp://wakawakawinereviews.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-24274332761982363552012-11-21T13:53:14.878-05:002012-11-21T13:53:14.878-05:00Wonderful post, BG.

Clearly, wine's a thing you love deeply & thoughtfully--not for the fetishism, but for the experience, for the sense of place it connotes & the place it owns at the table. I wonder about this because while I've never spent as much time articulating my passion for wine--nor have I had the range of experiences you've had over these past few years--I still find myself capable of that astonishment. That "visceral thrill," to use your words. <br /><br />Do you think it's a result of spending so much time analyzing, categorizing, etc. or is it more personal than that? If so, don't feel compelled to answer. You're just so forthright in your postings (& it's one of the reasons we love to read your words) that I thought it ok to inquire.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12840433543804906851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-38275070299467358522012-11-17T21:58:04.900-05:002012-11-17T21:58:04.900-05:00Great post.

So much of wine writing focuses on all the technical aspects that only tasting scholars and critics find important. You did a wonderful job reminding that wine is primarily a sensual experience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-53148173675169865072012-11-16T05:51:41.643-05:002012-11-16T05:51:41.643-05:00valuable post and very well written.Thanks for pos...valuable post and very well written.Thanks for posting .umeshhttp://www.rockhollowhuntclub.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-91865937278834069472012-11-16T01:46:44.454-05:002012-11-16T01:46:44.454-05:00Frequent reader; often commentator.

I held my breath on this one, BG, worrying almost to the end that you were winding around to explaining that this was your final entry (don't know why I thought that, but by the theory of ring composition one ends where one starts: which is often in Bordeaux I guess). I agree with Tom: beautiful reflections. <br /><br />I've been thinking lately about all that California cult wines people have been selling off and wondering whether someday it will return to fashion, even among geeks, sort of like bell-bottom pants or other embarrassingly sentimental echoes of times past. Wouldn't it be ironic if people want to buy back all that wine they (we!) had dumped?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-1375183038321567002012-11-15T21:35:28.881-05:002012-11-15T21:35:28.881-05:00Frequent reader, but usually don't comment.
