I love reading about these boutique wines and just local wines from my region. However, after 30 years making my living buying and selling wines, I realize that I never made enough money to afford the overpriced examples I was selling "and tasting". I trust that very few of you can taste test a $65.00 boutique wine against an $8.00 wine, similar varietal, from your local wine store and tell which is the best. After 30 years of daily tasting, I have a hard time telling which is "best". However, I have the greatest respect for the new vintners who are marketing their wares. I will support the new vineyard that is breaking ground less than a mile from my home, as well as others who are almost as close.
