NPR, Wine Tasteing, & Audiophiles

Was running errands yesterday and caught the last bit of a rather famous story about wine tasting on National Public Radio. They did a single blind test with several highly thought of experts to find out what the 'best' wines were. The clear winner for white whine was a lowly California vintage, and in general the realy high priced famous vintage stuff did not fare better than some current vintage wines that the average person might afford.
Remind you of anything :).

I visited a winery in the Shenandoah Valley in VA & the wife & I were treated to a tour before the place opened up by the owner. There were a bunch of bees hovering around an open red wine barrel & some of them were even swimming/soaking in the wine. I mentioned my allergic reaction to bees & that red wine gave me a headache...

I do most of my wine shopping at Sam's club and pick the wine based on how cool the bottle looks.

Check out the movie "Mondovino" for an interesting perspective on the wine biz. Now if only someone would shoot the equivalent "Mondoaudio" that should prove to be truly hysterical!
