Not saying he was a mean person but man, when you got on his bad side it was o-v-e-r. I learned to just steer clear and silently admire the wines he imported. <br /><br />Very nice tribute.Samantha Duganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214278596698698245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128271396089958050.post-35485940561741674962011-09-20T09:16:11.147-07:002011-09-20T09:16:11.147-07:00I don't think Joe had a rigid idea of what con...I don't think Joe had a rigid idea of what constituted "real wine" except that he liked to deal with winemakers who were passionate about their work and who had respect both for the land and for the bodies into which the liquid would wind up.<br /><br />In other words, Joe probably expected wine to be as free of the weight of human hands as possible--and the result of passion mixed with commerce rather than commerce only.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322028233207741737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128271396089958050.post-29078195110091221452011-09-20T08:47:34.526-07:002011-09-20T08:47:34.526-07:00I never interacted with Joe, but would have loved ...I never interacted with Joe, but would have loved for him to spell out to me just what "real wine" is...SUAMWhttp://shutupandmakewine.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
