Kelly - A Wine Hero


Today's Independent Weekly features a story about NC wines.  They assembled a tasting panel to blind taste NC wines and then published the comments by the group.  Kelly Skaggs is my wine critic hero.  Thank you Kelly for putting it like it is and putting it how you taste it.  Way to stand up to "wine professionals" who beat around the bush, while you get to the heart of the matter.  I wish I could have been a fly on the wall to hear you speak.  

My favorite Skaggs quote from the article, "I wouldn't drink it even drunk off my ass...Yes, it's easy to bash these things, but...people need to know, and people need...true, honest opinion. That's a crap wine, and I think people need to know honest feedback."

  1. I really wish I could've been a part of that tasting. How fun.
    I love your labels, by the way.
