Tom is the critic of choice for wines you’ve never heard of and wines that you have no interest in drinking. He will subtly convince you otherwise. Keep it up Tom!
He’s a great guy. Incredibly knowledgeable. And I actually really appreciate his forays into regions/wines that I otherwise wouldn’t try, at least most of the time!
Tom is one of the most knowledgable passionate person I have ever met - and not just on the topic of wines. Ask him about heritage pigs! He gives Daryl Corti a run for his money as often as possible - and holds his own.
The cool thing about folks like Tom and Blake Brown and a few others - they continue to give of their time and knowledge, and for this, I am forever grateful.
Thanks, Armando…I very much appreciate the compliment. I won’t ask about the other 4 reasons!!
I like to expand my horizons, learn new things, try new wines…and then post on them. Just sorta inquisitive on things vinous.
Oftentimes, the wines are pretty obscure and most people will never encounter them, or have never encountered them.
So much of the time, there are no responses. But I pay attention to the Number of Views and note that there are plenty of
persons reading my TN’s. It always helps that they are short/boring. So that makes my labor of love worth doing.

Nope, Larry…I don’t hold a candle to DarrellCorti. The depth & breadth of Darrell’s knowledge always amazes me. He once came to NM
to speak at a SloFoods event on…get this…asparagus!! With all the details on why your pee smells so much after you’ve eaten it.
He held the audience in the palm of his hand, spellbound, for well over an hour. I’ve always said that if Darrell went into Physics instead of
becoming a mere grocer…he would have won a Nobel prize long ago. No way am I in Darrell’s league.

More seriously, Tom’s time and efforts are really something. WB is enriched, and we get to hear about many out-of-the-way wines. From a fellow physicist, keep on keeping on, Tom!
