Thank you for putting this all into words. You have a wonderful ability to express the grower’s side of this business.

21 brix, any day of the week. Keep up your writing. The industry can always use a reality check.

Anyone who is “downstream” in a product is apt to profess disdain about those suppliers who are “upstream” and how their choices/diligence/misfortune makes the downstream job harder. Happens in every industry.

The tune changes when the stream dries up…

Appreciate all of the good work, sleepless nights and passion you put into (y)our fruit.

“Harsh. Opinionated. Feisty.” Sums it up pretty well

I don’t always agree with your approach, but your message is always clear and well presented.

There is sadly too much politics in wine. I like what I like, and particularly in whites I want them bright with clean acids, so I will go with the 21 brix any day. But I don’t wish for a vintage that forces that on growers. I wish every vintage was a growers dream and people could make whatever style they like.

My preferences aside, I want people who make their living in the vineyards to do just that, make a living. All these opinionated bloggers who have no stake in the outcome of a vintage need a reality check.

It can be a heartbreaking way to earn a living.

One final question of my own. If we believe in terroir, is ignoring what a vintage is trying to a winemaker by forcing the grapes to do something they are unable to do, really ignoring the terroir as well?
