Wine Week 2018, What's All The Hoopla?
Wine Week (2018) in New Hampshire is beginning again, and the exciting cycle of the oxymoronic frozen frenzy of fiendishly fitting and figuring of how to make too often pedestrian wines pair with patrons, proceeds.
This bloated buffoonery gets to the heart of my unsolicited and unrequested advice for the 2018 Wine Week: Meet people, have fun, and select important wines to taste; by important, I mean wines that have the potential to impress or wines that you may want to buy in bulk and still impress; clearly, the wines that would interest moi would be one-time wines of an unusual character, whether rare varietals, rare quality, or just scarce wines; For me, it’s the ‘adventure’ of the wine.
Secondly, if I’m buying for a restaurant or a private boutique I’m clearly not wanting to buy just one bottle of a given wine, but buying wines that will thrill the palates of my restaurant’s clientele, easy enough with a Sauvignon Blanc (did I really say that?), but not so easy with a Cabernet Sauvignon. Of course there’s the standard supermarket wines (not always uninspiring) that the irremediable hoi-polios asks for, usually by brand name, Robert Mondavi anyone?
Well, Here’s to Wine Week 2018: cheers, salute, down–the-Hatch, or bottoms-up should suffice to encourage this year’s Hubbub.

NH Wine Week sounds like fun...the Sinskey tasting on the 22nd is defo worth attending. I was just at Sinskey...the Abraxas is tasting as delicious as always.
