[desmond5087052] Buy Mondovino DVD at Amazon.: infantile tastes (”easy to drink wines”) and who favor oak to “terroir”(the earthy tastes in many French wines) are changing the method wines are made forever. It seems the runt wineries are being bought out by the grand corporations, synthetic methods are former, everyone is creating a McDonalds Bic Mac wine that is predictable, doesn’t need ageing, and caters to wine critic Robert Parker’s personal tastes and biases (he loves the sizable California wines so the Europeans are emulating that model.)

[exptv.com] Mondovino - A Movie Review: I honestly haven't seen many wine movies (there aren't many made) but the other day at Blockbuster I saw Mondovino on the shelf and thought that a wine movie might be interesting. I hadn't heard about it before my wife and I sat down to watch it and we didn't realize it was documentary style until we took it out of the box.

[Reign of Terroir] Mondovino's Jonathan Nossiter, part 1: On Film, Rio, and ...: “[A]nyone with half a chimp’s brain can see through Nossiter’s transparency easier than a J.J.Prum riesling”¦it is Nossiter and his ilk(call them the scary wine gestapo)chanting the same stupid hymn that demand wines be produced in only one narrow style”¦.”

[Mark's Wine/Family/Business Blog] Mondovino-A review « Mark's Wine/Family/Business Blog: I understand that this is going to be a major concern with wineries, but I have to admit that almost every wine drinker I know from the serious to the casual, seem to have similar tastes to Parker. If he were constantly rating wines highly that the wine consuming public didn’t like, then he would lose his following rather quickly and people would pay more attention to other publications which the filmaker seems to leave out for the most part, with a small reference of Wine Spectator and their 2M+ yearly readers.

[Coffmans Blog] Watch Mondovino Online: infantile tastes (”easy to drink wines”) and who favor oak to “terroir”(the earthy tastes in many French wines) are changing the plot wines are made forever. It seems the shrimp wineries are being bought out by the ample corporations, synthetic methods are archaic, everyone is creating a McDonalds Bic Mac wine that is predictable, doesn’t need ageing, and caters to wine critic Robert Parker’s personal tastes and biases (he loves the expansive California wines so the Europeans are emulating that model.)

[The Pour] False Demons - The Pour Blog - NYTimes.com: True, Nossiter probably does mourn “the larger loss of local cultures”, i.e., wine grown from land and made by a person of that very land, all with originality and uniqueness by the very nature of their locale and person-land relationship. Nossiter is worried about losing this “local culture” because of the inherent fundamentals of globalizing economies, e.g., the biodynamic Arbois winemaker saying “I want to sell more of my wine to those rich Americans (or Chinese or Japanese or”¦), and if I can sell more then I will expand to make more money, and if I expand I will have more wine to sell, and if I have more wine to sell I will need to “appeal” to more palates”, and you can see where this slippery-slope is going”¦That is what Nossiter fears and that way of thinking is rife in the wine industry.

[Reign of Terroir] Jonathan Nossiter pt. 3, Wine, Power, Portugal: And lots of people have abandoned the board because it’s basically been censored like a kind of Stalinist propaganda arm by its administrator, that uproarious Dickensian character Mark Squires, already a figure of fun in Portugal where, to their consternation, he’s been assigned by the grand Poobah, despite not speaking Portuguese or knowing the culture.

[The Pour] A Plea for Calm - The Pour Blog - NYTimes.com: About the black and white view on issues, the winemaking world has indeed several currents with competing goals, one being more business-oriented and the other being more artisanal-product oriented. This is a reality that we can’t deny, but I don’t think that it has to do with politics or that the market is the enemy here : when the consumer will realize how so many wines are actually aromaticly shaped through additives, he will ask for natural wines and slowly turn around the market.
