Do You Want To Be Like Gary Vee, Really?
Just wanted to share a post with you guys that I found interesting. Jason Kotecki has a post out called Why You Might NOT Want to Be Like Gary Vee on the Dumb Little Man site. Many of us winos have followed Gary Vaynerchuk's Wine Library TV blog, and possibly his other ventures, and are in aw...
Great article!
The discussion here in austria is the same- but not in this public way. The governmental functionaries discuss with the vignerons behind closed doors. Even those who do organic do not have the same opinion - and that's the problem. The consumer should not know what is really going on with the wines. The consumer here really thinks that wine is a natural product by itself - and thats wrong.
Here in austria we have approx. 200 different yeasts for use. Some are neutral but some produce very strange aromatics which have nothing to do with the origin of the wines .But there are far many additives in the stores too. The agrar concerns know that the austrian vignerons live well and they push lots of pesticides and additives on the market. Everyone can afford it. I can tell you there is big money in this market - the concerns need people in the government to push their products and to make the correct LAWS!!!
Yes - for sure - the consumer should decide which wine is good or not. Here a bunch of 6 people decide by blind tasting if a wine is good in quality or not. This is far away from the real market.
