If someone is doing a great job, we want to know about them. Secondly, we want to know who is making these lists none of us can buy from; we want to know who to blame.
When we walk into most restaurants and are handed the wine list, we are appalled.
People still come up to me and say you're the guy who hijacked the Napa Valley Wine Train. That was 16 years ago.
When we find really good ones, we'll post them on our Web site so restaurateurs can consider adding them to their list.
When the average wine bottle on a list costs more than your dinner, when you have to decide between a bottle of wine and your kid's dentist appointment, it's a wine crime and the Wine Patrol is ready to speak out.
The wine I make is not available for under $30. There's no way for me to make money here.
