If you could only drink one… Importer?

5 Jan 2010This isn’t the same tired question about a desert island (my answer may be a Riesling from Alsace). Don’t get me wrong, you quickly learn about a person’s palate by playing that game. But that’s not what I was interested in when I titled this post. I’m thinking importer…
If you could only drink the wines of one importer, for the rest of your life, which importer would you select? This leads to the next question…
If you knew nothing of the producers of 3 random bottles, all in the same price point and hailing from the same regions, whose name would you choose when you flip that bottle over?
Obviously it is not easy to compare Jorge Ordonez to Dalla Terra, but if you had to choose between a Spanish wine that said Eric Solomon or Jorge Ordonez, which would you choose?

Knowing Importers is a little advanced for me. Something I’d like to educate myself on much more, but don’t know enough to give a well-constructed answer on this. I guess I know Kermit Lynch (but who doesn’t?)

I think it’s a great question (and an original one), however.

I’d have to go with Moët Hennessy USA.

Of course you would… great portfolio with super delicious bubbles! We should do a bubble-fest sometime soon. I’m sure I could talk Keith into something at Bin 75, even if he doesn’t get the whole social media aspect.
