Whatever image springs to mind, we bet we know what they're wearing: that classic, V-neck cardigan sweater. They came in bold, bright colors, with just four or five simple buttons down the front.

The really big collectors

Wine is a thing of passion for many of us and a thing of a whole lot of passion for a few of us, and many times those who are most passionate about wine spend a fair amount of time and capital putting together really big wine collections. Most collectors will focus their efforts, and wisely so, on a varietal or appellation or handful of producers they are very fond of. They may have a few outliers in their collection, but the best constructed "cellars" are very focused.

Varietal emergence

We have often written that trying new varietals and wine produced by new wineries is great fun for us, and the reason we don't turn down the opportunity to try new things with our distributors. It is rare though when we get to see firsthand a new varietal being embraced with enthusiasm by wine consumers. Over recent months we have tried Mourvedre from two different producers, once in our wine club and last week at a wine tasting and both times despite the wines being very different from each other in style they were both wildly popular.
