As one rather unfortunate individual on Twitter often said, "Huh, I don't know any of these wines/people, they can't matter!"

Admittedly almost all the list is Euro and there's a lot of 'new Spain' in there, but I love finding good wines and producers I didn't know!

Including those of us born there, with parents and grandparents who were born there.

I assumed as much. Still sounded impressive at first stat.

Instagram is probably the worst on that front...

Ha ha, I did back in 2011 and I'm now doin' it again. Very different now. Much more annoying and pointless instead of just pointless.

We live in times that are as subtle as Marmite.

I'm going to go with, nuclear weapons and the unprovoked invasion of neighbors.

Big thoughts that one. Never small.

Does this thought leader 'think' about 'wine' by any chance?

Thank you for explaining "roadman vibes". I'd assumed I had no clue due to being not British and/or 'old'.

I once was driving up a mountain road to a hermitage and found some poor delivery driver stuck on a turn as using the hand brake and clutch doesn't seem to be a skill anyone knows anymore. I had to get out, maneuver the van back on to the road, and said, "I don't think you can deliver here..."

Replace 'cynical' with 'tired' and follow it up with "of natural wine bullshit" and we've arrived to the station.

Yes, I've met many a winemaker with a very special personal 'terroir'.

Clearly, you haven't lost precious moments in your short existence on this planet to be in the company of the natty crowd.
