Hi Chris, I enjoyed the year-in-review podcast + pls accept my appreciation for your talents as an instructor at the Introductory Somm class in Pasadena last month. Thanks for providing the base of knowledge to continue discovering more.

Wonderful recap of the year in wine! While working on a state food & wine pairing project for all 50 states, I had a chance to taste a Tennessee wine from Arrington Vineyards, a rose of Cab Sauv, Syrah, and Sangiovese which was quite lovely. Arrington is co-owned by Kix Brooks of Kix and Dunn - worth a try if you find yourself nearby!

Great listen. On the subject of chardonnay, your discussion about younger drinkers' lack of enthusiasm for chardonnay got me thinking. As a bartender and floor sommelier in his early thirties, I think I agree that many people my age or younger do not order chardonnay. Still, almost everybody loves white burgundy if you can get it in front of them. More than a few do not even realize Chablis is made of chardonnay. I wonder if there is some similarity to the "NO F*****G MERLOT" ideas that pervade a slightly older drinker's memory. People will quote Sideways to death but then love a glass of Saint-Emilion or Pomerol. Is it perhaps in the same vein? Does chardonnay do better when you have the historical cachet of Burgundy or Champagne?
