In Reply to: "Wine Brats"? posted by Chris Coad on October 26, 2000 at 20:30:16:

Its amazing how many bad wine journalists there are! And Georges Duboeuf is offering to fly them all to his factory in Romaneche-Thorins (in the Beaujolais) to celebrate the Beaujolais Nouveau. Plus he pays for the hotel and several helpings of andouilettes! Maybe that's what keeps the various Wine Brats of the world in business.
Anyhow, there is much wisdom in the latest Wine Brat article, which delves into the complicated question of food/wine matches:
"Who cares if you want Zinfandel with your green beans or peanut butter and jelly sandwich? If you like it, go for it! If you ask me that's part of what makes wine so fun."
And people make fun of us for coining the term Jeebus!
The key to being a successful wine journalist is inventing profound analogies that make no sense to anyone. The Wine Brat is not in that league. I personally go for the three T's as in: "The wine revealed gobs of tobasco that turned into tobacco and finished in a film of tar." It is also important for the wine to be 'revealing.' This has become a very popular verb amongs wine journalists.
Amen.
