...Cheers AG. I'll pass the message onto Shane!<br /><br />I've always thought that the 'standard' wine drinker really needs someone to speak for them in the wine world, someone who drinks like them and relates to wine like them. Peter Forrestal does a good job with his quaff books, but at the same time he reviews wine with all the technical experience of a seasoned veteran, which isn't how most quaffers actually consume wine.<br /><br />I guess the difficulty is that you can hand a bottle of wine to a quaffer and say; 'here, review this', and they might come up with an accurate evaluation from a wine quaffer sense, but the more they review the more they start to learn about wine consumption/assessment, and the more they start to lose touch with the average wine quaffer.Chris Plummerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01038102858732379506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547979981063230374.post-78215016818874296782010-10-29T19:05:02.835-07:002010-10-29T19:05:02.835-07:00Good work Mr Plummer.

Perspectives like Shane's help reinforce that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01849754852205446845noreply@blogger.com
