Counter point to Bonne: Are Great Sommeliers an Endangered Species?
I think “the story” Jon is referencing is as much in the bottle as on the winery website. There a allot of wines out there that are engineered to please but say nothing about where they are from and are manufactured for no other reason then to sell and make money. Yes a wines first job is to taste good but I want more. I like the wine to tell me about where it is from, about the people behind it, what they are trying to express. Why they had to make this wine, this way. Like a great restaurant the food must be delicious but also have something to say.
Wines don´t tell stories … people around wine(s) do …
but (great) wines should have distinct personality …
