I wish I could mic up the barrel and get an audio of the MLF, it's quite dramatic, but I don't think it'd work (and it will probably be over by the time I go back in on Monday). Sorry, maybe next year?Vinogirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10145696108646897751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7358437830847379875.post-79799718761805325932011-11-25T09:48:15.834+00:002011-11-25T09:48:15.834+00:00Vinogirl - and that was their point, don't tre...Vinogirl - and that was their point, don't treat them like idiots. What a wonderful thing to do, show them the snap,crackle & pop of MLF. Big favour, can you take a little video of something similar happening in your winery and I can out it on here to show what it looks like behind the scenes? Would be fab.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08790725880329761329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7358437830847379875.post-83375374291959210172011-11-25T04:11:48.013+00:002011-11-25T04:11:48.013+00:00Master/student gap...don't particularly believ...Master/student gap...don't particularly believe in dumbing down the wine experience for a consumer (I'm one myself). Having folks literally listen to Cabernet sauvignon going through the snap, crackle, and pop of ML in the barrel this week (at the winery where I am employed), I try to put it in layperson terms, but it's rather a complex subject...so I stick to not treating people like idiots!Vinogirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10145696108646897751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7358437830847379875.post-36264841737412164202011-11-24T21:38:15.242+00:002011-11-24T21:38:15.242+00:00Godfather - you lunatic, you.Godfather - you lunatic, you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08790725880329761329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7358437830847379875.post-90470338640735360902011-11-24T16:48:46.975+00:002011-11-24T16:48:46.975+00:00KM,

That's a good place to start - ie avoid them. Then, of all the others, I would like to be able to categorise them by indivudual supermarket buyer and rank the quality/price ratio of the wines. That way, we could rank the ability of the supermarket buyers themselves. Next we could have a custard tart / wet sponge throwing device icon thingy on our computers to chuck at the worst performing buyers and highlight the rest of the rubbish they are listing. It won't change a thing but I'd feel better!<br />GodfatherGodfathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7358437830847379875.post-62830289303348382042011-11-23T19:35:16.956+00:002011-11-23T19:35:16.956+00:00Michelloui - next time I do a KMWC tasting I might...Michelloui - next time I do a KMWC tasting I might have to force you to come! In fact, I rocked a Whistles check shirt at the last one, so sort of Dallas-ish. There is usually a lot of noise, both chat and the swishing of wine, and very little spitting, obviously ;) I think as long as the content is good, you can do it both ways, as it were. I prefer the latter.

I've been to a few in the UK and I always feel interested yet clueless and like the master is simply tolerating my presence while he enjoyed the beautiful wine he chose for the evening. <br /><br />Then I went to one in Dallas. The master was in jeans and a cowboy shirt (but he was British!!). He sat at the table with the group, sometimes stood and walked around but he was just one of the gang. He didn't care that people weren't spitting out wine, he laughed along with the rest of the giggling group, and when no one seemed to like one wine he went off and found another to replace it (we were in a wine shop). <br /><br />I wasn't sure which I preferred. The pomp of the UK guy (which was entertaining in its own way) or the let-your-hair-down nature of the Dallas guy. I guess I felt I could ask the Dallas guy a lot more questions.<br /><br />At the least, it was interesting comparing the styles!Michelloui | The American Residenthttp://www.theamericanresident.comnoreply@blogger.com
