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.

I've been hearing these same arguments for years. I think a big part of the problem is that if a given winery holds a high classification, it has no incentive to go out and beat the bushes for business. The world market still looks to the Medoc classified growths - a measly 61 chateaux out of the 1000's of other labels that exist.
