AndyPeay Sez....

From the latest PeayVnyds Newsletter, I thought Andy had some interesting/relevant comments on the current wine scene:

Some may dismiss Andy's comments as self-serving, coming from a guy who was just tossed out of the IPoB movement, but I don't think so. His thoughts seem genuine and spoken from the heart.
Though it does hit a bit close to home for me...speaking as someone who is preparing to taste thru 4 Romorantins in his next tasting!!

Anyway, interesting read from Andy...one of my favorite peeps.

With the exception of the reference to "wines of balance" I pretty much agree with him.

I'll take the "delicious" over the orange wine or biodynamic but less-than-delicious wine.

And it does seem incongruous that none of the classic European wine regions were represented on the Copenhagen wine lists.

Only restaurant he names is Noma. Many pages of white and red Burgundy, from classic producers (Mugnier, Leroy, etc) as well as hip Burg producers like de Moor and Pacalet. Plenty of Piedmont, including G Conterno and Bartolo Mascarello. There lots of Jura, but plenty of Loire, Beaujolias, Rhone, etc. Tons of great German stuff.

There's no Bordeaux, but one assumes chef thinks it doesn't fit with food. Same could be true for Sonoma Coast, but more likely the general availability of Cali wine in Europe is more the issue (for instance, WS shows no Peay wines in Denmark).

Why not write an article whining about steakhouses and why they only have "classic" Sonoma Coast and Bordeaux and ignore Jura?

Whiny homey.
