On Fear & Loathing In the Natural Wine World
This just in from Robert Camuto, a very nice American dude who moved to France a while back and became enamored of - you guesses it! - French wine. In a blog post just up that inspired the title of my own, the good scribe writes:
"I love un-pimped wines that reflect their place and vintage, and I don't want to see them limited to a ghetto of Parisian Bobos (bohemian bourgeois) and international hipsters. Going fundamentalist will only turn off the next generation and push them towards the next thing. Like martinis."
Amen. I reviewed Camuto's recently released book, Corksrewed, a bit back at WineCountry.com. Check it out here.
And for the full Fear and Loathing piece from the man himself, head over to his blog to read it.
