Sometimes it appears we try too hard to make things work…and we forget to keep it simple. Just listen to the old timers…they know and remember what goes best with what, well before prices jumped way beyond their modest earnings….I now follow their lead earnestly….yet always aware that off vintages can also play havoc and expose those “cracks” you mentioned…and service?! Me, I’ll leave the expensive stemware in the cabinet and just pour the wine into a farmhouse tumbler and to hell with projecting notions of superiority and fancifulness…it’s the best way to get the village old farts to look forward to returning to your home for lunch next week!
Still feeling the old maxim, what grows together goes together. But cracks in the infrastructure are showing.
