I like Oz Clark
he presents three wines these days on James Martin Saturday Morning , a GB TV show.
some of the terms he uses make more sense to me than standard jargon
Ive tried grape varieties based on his descriptions and enjoyed them.
his list for a specific bottle probably only work for GreatBritain.
the crew at my local TJ's has several people that know they wines they are selling.
they know what I like so Ive found some very tasty wine at very good prices there.
and you can take the bottle basck if you don't like it. I try not to do that very often if at all.
they have also opened bottles for me in my price range ( < 10 USD ) it they think they are close to something I might like.
they know a lot more about what they are selling than the overall group at Total Wine.
one thing about TJ's : they buy very large lots of wine that they think suits their clientele .
then when sold out , its sold out !
they had a Macon-Ige a while back for $ 9,98. and extraordinary wine for the price.
I bought several cases I like it so much for ' week-end wine '
thought of buying some more , then it was gone !
