How many points do they give him?
Very nice.
Nice write-up.
Nice read, thanks for the link.
Nice article about a nice guy.
At one point, it says “a bimonthly newsletter about wine that he writes out of his beloved Croton-on-Hudson home. (Gilman lives in a 110-year-old country inn that was converted into seven apartments…)” which is the place I remember.
At another point, it says “Now, in Westchester, where he works out of a studio attached to his three-bedroom apartment, …”
Is this 2 different descriptions of the same place?
A man’s apartment is his castle.
Good profile. Thanks for the link.
Yes. Croton-on-Hudson is in Westchester County. It’s confusingly presented though.
I read Croton as Corton initially.
Mark,
Nice article, thanks for posting.
Any idea who the German estate is?
Anybody know where in Western Mass he’s from?

Beyond trying the samples I sent him, he didn’t know me at all before we met at my table at Pinot Days in NYC last Jan. When I mentioned that I was looking for a distributor there, he went way out of his way to introduce my pinot to the one he felt would be the best match – Satyr Picks. Nice guy indeed! (Though that didn’t stop him from panning my viognier in the most recent newsletter.)
John did a pretty winning interview with Levi Dalton on Dalton’s radio show.
great guy, helped me with an amazing trip to Burgundy a decade ago. Been getting his email rag since day one.
What’s your father’s palate preference like, John?
Truchot, natch!
Nice article, have always been a fan. Also nice to see Cuvaison validated…lucked in to a bottle of their '73 Zin recently and it was awesome.
One may not always agree with him (though I often do, at least for Bordeaux and US-cabernets), but I think we need voices like Gilman. Critics move the market (some more than others), influencing many wine makers in the process (though by no means all), so having a champion for a style and approach to wine making is important in helping preserve diversity in wine.
John is a very good writer and a very nice person. Nice to see him get some press.
