Literally everything about this entire thread makes me angry. And the wine industry wonders why it is failing to capture the hearts and minds of new/younger consumers who would rather drink White Claw (with zero tasting notes) than deal with another minute of wine elitism.

Writers: it's ok to write about wine n/a to consumers. The challenge is to write in a way that cultivates curiosity (@DevinParr). Not every article has to result in a click thru/purchase. Consumers r too trained for instant gratification. Chill out & enjoy the journey. #wmc22

Over the past few years, there's been growing chatter about Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon, and @DevinParr urges more of us to start listening. vinepair.com/articles/sonoma…

With Napa Cab Increasingly Out of Reach, Could It Be Sonoma’s Turn for the Spotlight?

It’s hard to talk about California wine without immediately turning to Napa Valley. And with good reason. California was in large part put on the global wine map thanks to the 1976 Paris Tasting,...

If Napa Valley Cabs are known for their brooding, dark fruit, full body, and plush tannins, Sonoma Cabs take on a slightly leaner, more structured quality, and Napa's winemakers are paying attention. 🖊️: @DevinParr vinepair.com/articles/sonoma…
