Good Juice List was born out of a love for wine and a desire to talk about it unpretentiously. As I worked my way through sommelier certifications, I was uncomfortable when people asked my opinion about a wine they were drinking– as though my opinion held more weight than theirs. If YOU like a wine, then it’s good. Full stop.
That being said, however, there is a way to drink well and responsibly. I am committed to promoting organic and biodynamic wines that reflect the natural character of the grape and the land upon which it was grown; to “dry farmed” wines whose character genuinely reflects our planet’s changing climate (for better or worse) without the greedy use of unnaturally irrigated water; and to wines that are only minimally processed and done so out of necessity. This is the good juice.
