Ridge and the non-availability of good American wine in England

Regular readers probably know that I am a fan of Ridge wines.  And I also complain all the time about how you can never find decent American wines in England!

I was gratified to notice how Jancis Robinson’s column in today’s Financial Times talked about both of these issues.  I already think that Ms. Robinson is the best wine writer in the world, but when she reinforces ideas that I have already talked about, I think she simply a genius!

She also talks about how Ridge is different from American wines as they tend to create a more classical wine, avoiding the sweetness, high alcohol, and overwhelming fruit that often characterizes American wine.
