Thank you for visiting Wine Camp. I created Wine Camp to promote the discussion of terroir driven wines in a points free environment. I believe the current addiction to the 100 point scale pulls many consumers away from wines with grace, complexity and a true sense of place. Here you will find no rankings and all of the wines in my wine notes are recommended. The only exception you’ll find is if I think a particular brand is a consumer rip-off that needs exposing as in this post.

Top Ten List

ls_top_ten_logo With the writer’s strike Letterman fans have been without a new top ten list for weeks. For them here is a Wine Camp top ten list.

Ten ways to tell if someone is not a wine terroir-ist (in no particular order):

  1. They purchase Veuve Cliquot
  2. They shop with The Wine Spectator top 100 list in hand at Chambers Street Wine Merchants
  3. They make a newbie post of their wine tasting notes complete with points on The Wine Therapy Forum
  4. They see Mark Squire’s point
  5. They subscribe to The Wine Enthusiast
  6. They think Eric Asimov is a wine-science fiction writer
  7. They have Yellow Tail Shiraz Reserve in their cellar
  8. They’re paranoid about the Wine Gestapo
  9. They confuse Mondovino with Mondo Cane
  10. They invite Alice Feiring to be the moderator at a horizontal tasting of Loring Pinot Noirs.

Only a wine terrorist would come up with this list.

Hey Craig, I missed this until a friend made sure I didn't. This is positively hilarious. A great barometer. Thanks for a gloomy Sunday cheerup.---Alice
