Please use the comments to demonstrate your own ignorance, unfamiliarity with empirical data and lack of respect for scientific knowledge. Be sure to create straw men and argue against things I have neither said nor implied. If you could repeat previously discredited memes or steer the conversation into irrelevant, off topic discussions, it would be appreciated. Lastly, kindly forgo all civility in your discourse . . . you are, after all, anonymous.

“…More than ever in viticultural history, better wines come to us from unlikely places.
A growing phenomenon we better get used to, because shiraz from kangaroo country is only the beginning. Americans are going berserk making wines in funny places, too.
Which underscores the frustration in buying wines directly from other states, particularly the produce of smaller boutique wineries, given the roadblocks, penalties and ridiculous mishmash of prohibitive state laws.
The reason wines are available from the oddest places these days is simple enough: we are in the exuberant age of grape-growing experimentation worldwide, and there’s plenty of money around to fuel the sons and daughters of Bacchus.
Or as Steve DeFrancesco, winemaker at Glenora Vineyards of New York’s Finger Lakes put it recently, “every square inch of the traditional places to grow great wines in Europe and Asia were planted years and years ago. But to suggest those are the only places grapes can grow or that great wines can be made only from them is absurd.” Steve and I were on a panel of 25 judges for the 24th annual International Eastern Wine Competition held over three days in June amid the breathtaking splendor of the Corning Museum of Glass, just south of the Finger Lakes wine growing region. This competition, which is absolutely blind and truly international in its representation is one of the largest and oldest in the country, is produced by Vineyard and Winery Services, a trade service organization for the wine industry.
There were 1,639 entries, 41 percent won a medal, although only 22 double gold medals were awarded in three days of judging. A double gold was awarded when all five judges in the five break-out panels voted the highest rating independently and blindly. Blind as in no labels, no clues as to manufacture or origin…”

“The goal of investors is — or at least ought to be — to deploy their risk capital in a way that maximizes their return relative to the risk levels they are willing to assume.”
