Getting Grumpy With the Opinions
One of the strange things that happens when you blog publicly is that PR flacks start sending you articles and promo material to look at. Some of it applies, some . . . not so much.
But I really loved this bit of snark I got from a Conde Nast rep: The World's Most Overrated Wines, from 'Mens Style'. I'm not sure why anyone would think of 'style' and me in the same sentence, but clicking through the little slide-show does offer a few valid points, although they're mainly just cranky opinions. There are a lot of undistinguished wines out in the marketplace, and a few outright stinkers, but it's a bit broad to tar so many with one brush.
For me, I've only got so much drinking time, so ranting about overrated wine leaves me short on time to enjoy my own good wine--and I've got plenty of that to go around.

Hi Tim,Yes I got the same email from Maria? I was kind of funny as I do not know her I have done so many wine tours I thought I has driven her and forgot! What I wonder is what they are trying to achieve by sending these emails to bloggers? I wrote her back you have any clients that want to do a tour of Napa or Sonoma it is slow right now and it is a good time to come! Great to hear you got one too just fuuny? http:winelimo.typepad.com
