The Winesearcher debate

 

 

Winesearcher published a post written by W. Blake Gray in May 2020. Mr. Gray had the following to say about diversity in wine;

 

Diversity in wine terms is a bad idea. At best, it is an indulgence of the trade, at worst it may lead to commercial suicide. It is also patronizing. Do consumers really need to be told that they should be expanding their palates? What justifies the imperative to continually proselytize the esoteric? 

 

Slotovino is 'A Plea for Diversity in Wine.' To Mr. Blake we say Si responsio requiris circumspice.
