Got me thinking. Seems well-written. So I share.

Terry is a long time personal friend, and has been a stellar importer since the mid-1980s. His musings are always worth reading, even when they travel to areas he admits are a bit absurd. He was one of the earliest, and since then most long-standing influences on my palate, and the way I taste wine.

I love this part: "Finally, as a taster I am sensitive to elements of shape, contour and motion. Shape is simply alluded to as a descriptor, but I think contour and motion are more evaluative, and both contribute to length, which of course is very important. Some wines can depict really fascinating arcs of “narrative”, they can carry you along, and deposit you in a different place than you started from. Some wines can leap at you on first impact, then retire demurely, only to return with a deeper thing they aren’t sure you heard the first time."

Yes yes YES. I live for that.

Yup, Pat... that's a well-written, thoughtful, and thought-provoking article. Thanks for sharing it.

What's up with his portfolio now? Seems to still list most of the same estates, but they're also still in Skurnik?
Always enjoy the writing, but it's never concise.

The portfolio listing is just the estates he used to import via Skurnik. They are still all coming in via the same channels...at least the ones he was handling through the 2018 vintage.

Hmmm. Just recently asked Dear Husband to introduce me to a few spirits. To further my education. Very limited exposure so far. So much wine to enjoy it hasn't been a priority.
