“Great, complex wines are wonderful, enthralling, life-affirming, soul-stirring..” Terry Theise

“Great, complex wines are wonderful, enthralling, life-affirming, soul-stirring, but it’s worth asking whether they are relaxing. Good, simple wines speak to our spirit of play and ease and repose, exactly because they don’t demand our exclusive attention.”

—Terry Theise, Wine Importer and Writer, Reading Between the Wines
