With so many different varietals and techniques to contend with - do exercise complete control over the winemaking or have a few key people to help? In your case, would Less (types), ever be more(quality) ?

What's your opinion of California "Cult" wines in general ?

Thanks for your participation

Dear Gordon,

Good question and one that my CFO and National Sales Mgr. ask me on a virtually daily basis. Yeah, we're probably making too many wines and yeah, with so many wines I don't really have the chance to personally oversee all of them to my own satisfaction. (I try to personally focus on the wines of the highest value - Cigare Volant, Old Telegram, etc.) I work with some really great people who keep me from making really big mistakes. As far as the cult wines that come from California: My limited experience is that they tend to be somewhere between slightly and colossally over-rated. There may be some really great ones out there, but no one has ever tasted them. RG.
