A rose by any other name...

During my formative years, the seeds of design and engineering were planted early. While some may disagree, the European asthetic for cars, is (or was) in my opinion the finest in the world. Unfortunately, this in a thing of the past. This is proof.

The progression for the past 10-15 years has become this: The Germans design simple, beautiful lines. Japan creates a "luxury' line of an over priced Honda and sets about totally ripping off said German vehicle. Germany taking a cue from Hollywood refuses to create anything original and redesigns the Honder. Hence, circling the drain becomes the norm.

So, it should be no surprise that the same has come to the world of wine. It is with great pleasure that I present the latest attempt in cashing in. Awful close to wine at your local Bi-Lo.

Ravenswood, Ravensworth, Ravensblows, Ravensworthless.

I would imagine that Joel Peterson might have a problem with this but he sold his soul a few years back and no longer felt it necessary to make wines of substance.
