Thanks, Jill!

The logical next step of course is for you to send me more of your white wine for my own, uhm, *clinical research* into the matter!

I thought I should jump in as the one who brought the whole idea up in the first place.
First of all Joe, I'm sorry I didn't share our collection of light sabers with you when you were here….you'll definitely have to come back now….
I was trying to make a point about the degradation of the American palate in general. We are used to eating very highly flavored foods that have been developed by food scientists, which are often full of salt and umami (the "yummy" flavor). I think this is why people like fruity, oaky, extracted wines. The ability to detect different flavors is both genetic and learned. It seems, from the reaction of people tasting peaches, that we are no longer learning to detect subtlety; flavors are all up front.

Just a note – In a recent trip to Napa/Sonoma, the overwhelming winner of 'best of week' wine was a Sonoma single vineyard small production SB from Macleod Family Vineyards. Pure pineapple, absolutely delicious.

Personally, I hope it's the former – life is just so much more interesting that way!

Steve brings up another interesting point, though. For winemakers, do you create wine for your vision and hope that overlaps with the people who enjoy that same style, or do you create wine to appeal to a specific style that will become popular. What I think we will find is that no one will have to lose their vision or passion. Some will make the shift, but I have a good feeling there will be new entrants whose tastes appeal to the millennial style, whatever that may be.
