And anyone who thinks Alder is the best writer in the blog world is sorely in need of an education. Technically, he's fine. Inspirationally, he's Ayn Rand. Randall's work will live for a very long time. Alder's has the shelf life of White Zinfandel.<br /><br />Nothing we do on wine blogs has any literary longevity or merit. It's hubris to think otherwise. It's all spitting into the wind. I am grateful not to have the vanity of Alderpated, the self-importance. I write for the simple surprise of comedy. <br /><br />There just isn't enough laughter in wine. Look at the Poodle winners. Dull and steadfast. That's not fickle, it's simply boring.
