Leading you to believe that their wines come from some of the best places on earth, or that they are meticulously grown, harvested, and turned into this wine of opulence. This is where I run into the many issues I have with companies such as this. Heck, many people just don’t care, only that they like a particular wine or not which is a common stance for the majority of wine drinkers and one to which I subscribe.īelieving that you should also get what you are paying for has been a mantra of mine for the better part of my career. From their website, little could be gleaned other than an editorial essay detailing the history and vague references to terroir and manufacturing of the wines.Īs someone who has attempted to learn as much as I can about wine, I know that people’s tastes are different and the amount they wish to extract from their pocketbooks varies widely. What disturbed me about these wines was made even more evident as I began my hurried research to learn about the wines so I could tell the guests all about them.
Interestingly, like so many mass-produced wines, they find favor with a large segment of the wine-drinking public. Mind you I didn’t say they were bad wines, only that they represent mass-produced wines with questionable pedigrees. No, it was that I was asked to pour for a company that has multiple lines of wines, most of which I have little interest in or believe that they represent anything resembling serious wines.
You see at the last minute I was tasked to pour at a local tasting, but that wasn’t the issue as I’m retired and have little going on in my life (let the pity party begin). I’ve written about whether or not that would be the job for me after this last weekend, the answer was abundantly clear - NOT! The one job I’ve never held in the wine biz is working for a wine distributor.
