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 :).

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!

spanish and italian wines are hard to beat for value....12 bucks gets a pretty decent italian wine and 25 a very good young one like a Brunello...50 and it is heaven on earth
