I will remember the point about the Beringer and if they are ever available on an academics salary ...
My point was really about consistency of taste I guess. I know that I will get much the same taste from a NW wine because the conditions and methods of production virtually guarantee that. Old world wines have a huge amount of superstition built into the "ethos". The weather is far more inconsistent and some of the methods seem to go back to the dark ages.
I am worried about the disappearance of old grape varieties but I have tried some of them whilst travelling around Europe and some of them possibly deserve to become extinct! However it is a real danger that commercial success will go to only a handful of grapes and the rest will dissappear.
PS Can you explain why some French wines seem to have a slightly "musty" aftertaste?
