    this guy clearly looks at wine differently than I do......I have never looked for an "earthy muddy" aroma in my red wines before......I'm sort of old fashioned....I like my wine to taste like fermented grapes......
    ...full immersion.....

    wow. PmP - C'mon over for dinner - bring your family. We'll do some wine and help ya 'mature' your taste.
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Gimme some Beringer White Zinfandel and I'm good. The sparkling white zin is even better. $9 a bottle. Anything with a dry, earthy, sock taste and I'm likely to spit it out.
