Guessing the former, but who knows!

How could you not trust this marketing?

Stuff like this has been peddled for quite a few years now. Praying on the "contains sulphites" wording and the stupidity/fear of most consumers I guess....

Hard to believe. If this actually became law I guess even a burner phone is not going to save you (that was my theoretical strategy should I need to travel to the US in the short-term. Which I sincerely hope I do not)

That must have been right at the start of Kostis's winemaking career. Have you tried more recent vintages?

I adore his wines - really classic Xinomavro but made with enough restraint (in terms of extraction and wood) to be accessible.

Pinot Grigio is a pink-skinned grape. And yes none of these names are that logical when you dig deep.

Hence it drives me potty when people say we can't call orange wine "orange wine" because hey it's often not orange.

It was delicious. I wanted more than the teeny tiny slice they gave me. But it was part of a 100 course menu or something . . .

Wow! I feel that this, made by Sühring restaurant in Bangkok, could have given the prizewinner a run for their money:

When they brought it to the table, I thought it was a fake - just an ornament to illustrate the origin of the dish. Then they sliced it and served it to us. OMG.

🤣🤣🤣

Is it nonsense? About half of US adults are tee-total, and I'm sure many of the rest don't drink wine at all.
This visual seems to be based on volume of consumption not on population - which makes sense to me.

Nice, this is new to me.

😂

My God, we're all being so nice and agreeable.

What happened to the good old #winetwitter days when we could all have a bit of a set-to and insult each other?

Also valid.

To be fair, I just re-read my own article, and I never talk about the perfect pairing (that was just the provocation in the headline).

I just mention the difference between an acceptable pairing and an exceptional one.

Fair point
