As you know, I will be in Spain next week, and am sure I will experience much of the Old World as Thiese describes. <br /><br />Hi Jane and thanks for your comments: It is good to experience all styles of wine, though we may have our preferences. If we are daring enough to challenge our palate, we will surely enjoy wine.Richard Auffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03948647697847819742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2405633513402883204.post-65651204885605935342010-09-07T07:40:27.274-04:002010-09-07T07:40:27.274-04:00We have one of each type of wine person in our hom...We have one of each type of wine person in our home, so we take time out to taste both types of wine and learn what the other appreciates about his/her favorite. We may never have our minds changed, but we do have our palates expanded. Great job characterizing the differences between old and new world wines.Jane Wardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2405633513402883204.post-6927246350824548812010-09-06T20:00:08.581-04:002010-09-06T20:00:08.581-04:00Rich, woops, I clearly prefer *OLD* world winesRich, woops, I clearly prefer *OLD* world winesAdam Japkohttp://wine-zag.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2405633513402883204.post-71199330228238814862010-09-06T19:58:12.045-04:002010-09-06T19:58:12.045-04:00Rich...great of you to amplify this issue.

I simply prefer new world wines, the style of nuance simply feels more natural, of the earth, of the wines terroir. I am heading to Napa this week and am looking forward to a big tasting agenda,but thinking about it as a trip to a theme park or Disneyland and anticipating that big rocking wine with a big twist to it that will dazzle me like giant roller coaster. If I was heading to France or Spain or Italy, I would be looking forward to falling in love over and over again.Adam Japkohttp://wine-zag.comnoreply@blogger.com
