After seeing him in Mondovino and reading his book, NR's portrayal in your interview is my favorite and the one that will likely stick in my mind.

I do go there, because frankly, I don't have access that he does to tasting those caliber of wines any other way, but I do agree that it's a poor way to judge wine, and I far prefer a small number of wines, over food, in a small company of folks who can pay attention to what they are eating, drinking, and to each other.Iron Chevskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05241149967997845671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-40448040918104460502010-11-17T14:43:45.713-05:002010-11-17T14:43:45.713-05:00Wonderful.

His book is among the very best ever written on wine. Thanks for this post - and looking forward to more.Evan Dawsonhttp://www.newyorkcorkreport.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-56521666287800762992010-11-17T12:52:42.643-05:002010-11-17T12:52:42.643-05:00I'm the anon of the first post that picked up ...I'm the anon of the first post that picked up the thread of the commercial risk taking. And you alerted me, BG, that the next post would emphasize another side of NR. How right you were! This is pretty close to poetry. So, an interesting mix revealed in a guy who needs to meet a payroll (we were introduced to some of his staff in "Mondovino")and yet maintains core belief in quality (in the Robert Pirsig mystical sense of the term). Thanks again so very, very much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-9277074820707494312010-11-16T21:12:35.659-05:002010-11-16T21:12:35.659-05:00Brilliant post, BG--your best ever.

So simple and straightforward. <br /><br />I teared up a bit when I read Neal's description of wine is and isn't. <br /><br />Thanks so much.<br /><br />Scott McCullochScott McCullochnoreply@blogger.com
