It just means people can have vividly different experiences with the exact same wine or wine with food.

It is interesting to me that wines on the IPOB list include both Raj's and Ehren Jordan's (one of the committee members) brands.kschlachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12810309689429676303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677155356733403823.post-74276048319719995362013-01-31T08:43:33.597-07:002013-01-31T08:43:33.597-07:00Hi Kyle (and hey, Jon!).

A copy of my book, Why You Like the Wines You Like" is on its way to you so you can peruse the research that clearly demonstrates that there if not such thing as IPOB from both a perceptive acuity standpoint, let alone the neurological factors, that determine everyone's unique points of view and sense of balance.Tim Hannihttp://www.timhanni.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677155356733403823.post-77934125715259240562013-01-30T09:54:21.280-07:002013-01-30T09:54:21.280-07:00And not all wine needs to express the vineyard.

Let every winemaker make a wine they feel is best.kschlachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12810309689429676303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677155356733403823.post-52229339496409848732013-01-30T09:21:20.619-07:002013-01-30T09:21:20.619-07:00Totally agree with you that we don't need to a...Totally agree with you that we don't need to all be on the same page regarding style. We make wine in a region that is redefining itself, and there are "wine judges" that pick a handful of wines made from a variety from the region and declare that set as being the gold standard for typicity. Frankly, that set is made using Mega Purple, and not a true representation of the vineyards. So to force everyone onto the same page would mean anyone trying to express the vineyard is going to be making incorrect wines and therefore lower rated. That would be a big disservice to the market.Jon Bjorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08915787145103864827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677155356733403823.post-44266607038599500292013-01-29T10:30:32.915-07:002013-01-29T10:30:32.915-07:00Amen!

Now we can buy wines from all over the world and in different styles. Preferences change as a person changes their interests. Plenty of room for different styles. There might even come a time when the US consumer has reached a balance themselves between being apologetic newbies and self made experts. (LOL) From GDFOAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
