Guy du Vin Finds WMDs (Wine Makers of Distinction)
As I write this, I notice that today the quote on my calendar is from President Bush, made in Nashua, New Hampshire on January 27, 2000, "I know how hard it is to put food on your family".
Hard indeed! Even harder the task of finding an appropriate wine pairing! White meat? Red meat? Sweet in disposition or bitter and closed? Red wine, white wine or the controversial pink? White and red? A dreaded flip-flop? Should you sanction same wine-food pairings? Do you give full support to the defense of the marriage of complementary wine tastes? Or are you doomed to mandated, contrasting flavor profiles.
Fortunately, you have Guy du Vin to guide you in dealing with these confusing issues.
We can tell you if that cabernet really deserved a gold medal thirty years ago and which winemakers know the difference between botrytis and powdery mildew. We know who was actually in the vineyard and who never left the sorting table. Look to Guy du Vin to give you the full story on who got by producing easy drinking plonk, lost in a drunken haze, out of the market for years at a time, only to reemerge decades later, garnering high scores with full page ads in glossy magazines. What were the secret machinations that occurred deep in the industry cellars that produced cult wines priced out of the reach of most consumers?
At Guy du Vin we know that wine legitimacy today costs only the price of a full-page color ad in the right venue.
Armed with the truth (conveniently located in your copy of the Guy du Vin Newsletter at no additional cost) you will never become one of those wine consumers captivated by the easy answers promised by towering scores and the never ending blitzkrieg of half-truths that the captains of the wine industry churn out like a spray of compost over a grateful, lethargic audience.
Over the past few months we have been encouraging you to purchase some of the wonderful white wines that we have tasted this summer. However, it is now almost Autumn and at the risk of being branded a no account "flip-flopper", it is the appropriate juncture in the calendar year to start thinking about consuming wines that are not white or pink, but of a different color and hue. I am speaking, of course, of wines of color, and in particular - red wine.
