| That's What Makes Horse Races | | | | By: Denman Moody | << back  Page 2 of 2 |
One time I was at Mayacamas with owner Bob Travers, and although I’m a big fan of his wines, I mentioned that I didn’t really care for the white wine we were drinking and explained why. He cared not in the slightest and made no comment in defense of the wine. He has and always will make his wines one way—the way he thinks they should be made. The fact that his Cabernets sometimes don’t “turn the corner,” as he puts it, for 15 years is irrelevant. There are plenty of enophiles out there who buy and cellar them for years. I mean, what’s a cellar for anyway?
Finally, there are winemakers producing their wines to bring forth their terroir, others making wines for great Parker scores, others making wines the way they want to and still others trying to produce wines they think the public wants. I don’t think we’re in serious danger of all wines tasting the same any time soon!
