Now I simply don't like it anymore. I generally only buy wines that are around $10, so far from snobbish (in my opinion) but my taste has definitely changed since I started enjoying wine. So I fully agree with this blog!Joey Yagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11511923255765833585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388643415483799555.post-4916985890393756792009-12-04T20:35:51.163-05:002009-12-04T20:35:51.163-05:00It's more like, 15% are wine snobs and 85% lik...It's more like, 15% are wine snobs and 85% like to drink wine. Yellow Tail Shiraz was one of the first wines I enjoyed drinking. Was it because it was low acid? Hell, I don't know I just thought it tasted good. I now buy, make and drink 300+ bottles of good wine per year. I'm not a snob, if someone likes a sweet or low acid wine I try to see what I have in my cellar that they might like. I don't try to force them to drink something they find unappealing because someone else says that's what wine is supposed to taste like. There are enough varieties, types and flavors of wine for just about anyone to enjoy. If it happens to be Yellow Tail, I say more power to them; they're drinking wine. Yellow Tail has become the whipping boy of wine snobs more because of their marketing prowess than due to the taste of their wines and their owners are laughing all the way to the bank.Hills-n-Daleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09667805495465136644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388643415483799555.post-21365305710132476762009-12-03T20:54:04.356-05:002009-12-03T20:54:04.356-05:00Makes sense to me... pretty close to right on.Makes sense to me... pretty close to right on.lakerpolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12972041463490673766noreply@blogger.com
