Benchmark Philosophies

“There are way too many wines in the world to drink bad wine.”

“To me, wine is this amazing synergy between art and science.”

“When you break down flavors in wine it’s nothing more than compounds like dimethyl sulfide, but it’s so much cooler to say hints of black currant and blackberries!”

“Wine is for everyone and should be approachable, not elitist.”
