In a blind-taste test of white wines, by Chris Rovzar

a panel of opinionated winemakers can't tell the different!
Chardonnays from the 'True' Sonoma Coast Are as Good as White Burgundy (for a Lower Price)
Wine critic Elin McCoy participates in a blind-taste test, and the panel can't differentiate between the old world wine and the new.

It used to be easy to pick out California examples in a blind lineup. They were the flamboyant ones that tasted like ripe tropical fruit liberally laced with powerful vanilla notes from aging in new oak barrels, a style that wine aficionados love to hate.
When the labels were revealed, though—surprise. Wines tagged as Burgundy turned out to be from West Sonoma Coast. More lemon than pineapple, more mineral than butterscotchy, slim and racy instead of thick and oaky, they were what I call neo-Burgundian.

蒙瓶試酒是希望不要先入為主
以第一慼去感受酒品的奧義

新世界造酒可更科學化, 故做到接近風格是不難的事啊!

在法國，能與波爾多媲美的葡萄酒產區莫過於勃艮第

We are talking about wine produced from the Sonoma area winery.

美國因天氣較熱, 酒會肥厚一點.這體驗正好相反.

hardly surprising

I remember reading an article years ago. they got a range of most expensive ones from Stellenbosch region, including a bottle that was tailor-made for a to London restaurant at a price of average monthly salary!

it was also a panel, wine masters, journalists and buyer. also blind-folded. and they all agree that they can hardly 'see' the difference amongst all those wines...
conclusion:
1) "Label" really is expensive

2) when you entertain your VIP guests, only feed they expensive one when they are drunk; you don't open the wine in front of them, just bring it out, u fill the bottle with cheap shit. Give the invoice to accounting and pocket the change

BTW, I just sort of helped a friend send out a container of cheap wine to China. So I have access to bottles (with compressed cork) now, so if anyone needs re-cork, let me know.
