thx 4 having me on #SommChat Diane @keepercoll is 1 of our fav people in the world

@keepercoll And it is hard to get past the committee @BeckyWasserman #SommChat

@keepercoll @BeckyWasserman & Co we fall in luv with character of #winemaker, even more impt than the #wine small comm tastes... #SommChat

@keepercoll ... #Beckywassermanforpresident #SommChat

@keepercoll escape didn't work spent 20 yrs N #LAX w/ other ppl in #wine trade-came back to fam. 4 yrs ago-idiot not 2 do this B4 #SommChat

@keepercoll started translating for Mom's customers in the cellars at age 12-ran away to #LAX to escape #wine trade at 26... #SommChat

@keepercoll France in general, looking at all of France love love love everything alpine, regardless of country boudaries #SommChat

@keepercoll the more you taste the more you become a fan of specific producers - better 2 follow producers than vintage #SommChat

@keepercoll so mayB the better vintages r the "lesser" vintages, we end up drinking more of the #wines that R ready sooner.. #SommChat

@keepercoll critics' gr8 vintages R still the ageworthy ones - it's not a contemporary view few b/c ppl cellar #wines... #SommChat

@keepercoll viticultural aspects especially #SommChat

@keepercoll #terroir is everything non-human that makes a #wine specific + some human aspects... #SommChat

@keepercoll you can include man or not in definition on #terroir, used 2 not include now changed my mind... #SommChat

@keepercoll texture is everything to me aroma overrated #SommChat

@keepercoll keep tasting notes-have boxes of them 4 wines 2 cellar focus first on back palate 4 VinsdeSoif focus on front palate.. #SommChat

@PrimlaniKitchen very little track record to go on some exceptions like #overnoy ages superbly need more data #SommChat

@keepercoll give the facts but express if a classic example or 1 w/ an opinion #SommChat

@CharlesComm less extraction like in Vin de soif, no new oak, less sulfur #SommChat

@keepercoll ciders of Cidrerie du Vulcain are heirloom varietals, untreated trees, non carbonated, and stunning #SommChat

@keepercoll had to have the the ciders of Cidrerie du Vulcain - couldn't resist #SommChat
