I had a great discussion with Joe Bastianich a while back and I ased him what he thought made for a Great Wine.
We weren't talking about the "great bottle of Pinot Grigio" that we had once... That just means "I really enjoyed that bottle of Pinot Grigio."
I'm talking about "The Great Wines of the World"... that kind of great. Something somehow beyond subjectivity, if that's possible.
Joe gave me a lovely and very well-thought-out response. It was more than I expected it to be, and it resonated so much with me that I have adopted it as MY definition of Great Wine. I will share it here when I've gotten a few responses...
SO HERE IS YOUR CALL TO ACTION: Tell me, What makes a wine "Great"? I really need your comments and feedback below...
Give it to me!
