Wine is such a beautiful and simple pleasure in this complicated life. I don't understand why it is continually subjected to such scorn and mischaracterization. It's not a health food, but it won't kill you either. It transcends global boundaries and brings people together. Why does it always get such a bad rap? Don't we seriously have bigger issues at this point?!? Major eye roll to VF and crew.
Even if public interest magazines didn’t use people knowledgeable about wine, the least they could do is send someone curious and generous. Imagine how completely forgettable “upon this rock,” might have been if Sullivan weren’t actually interested in understanding something rather than prancing around and mocking like Byron (can’t stomach people like this).
Nice peg Jason. Snark is so over. They are in love with their words not the wine they write about. Give us real information we can use. Carry the torch man. You nailed it
Great article. I agree with all that you wrote. I am not a particular fan of Orange Wines but I love that so many people do love them. I celebrate ALL wines not hate on any one or another.
I myself have never had an orange wine that I really liked. Obviously if we consider flor-based sherry or Jura wines to be in this category that would be a different matter, but when I’ve been urged to try orange wines in the US at natural restaurants, without exception they have been sour to the point of shrillness, funky, often visibly unstable and not uncommonly heavily corked. A category that makes me shudder. If I want to drink vinegar, well, I can take a hit on the apple cider vinegar bottle or order a shrub. But I don’t often want to drink vinegar! Now, I have no issue at all if you all love the stuff, but there are actual reasons for the lack of love this category experiences!
There's actually no lack of love for the category. It's actually very popular with people who weren't indoctrinated by wine "education" of another era. You must be out with people who don't know good orange wine idk
Hear, hear. A little skin contact on Pinot Gris/Grigio is a glorious thing. Let's judge a wine by the content of its character.
i have a dream

Exactly!!
Drinking orange wine on a terrace in Tbilisi is a pleasure I hope Byron never gets to experience in his life.
nice flex, globetrotter ;)
Well, it is the best place to have Orange wine
