    Tell us, Jim, apart from all that, will there also be a "normal" wine?
    What is interesting - at first sight of course - the oddity or the taste of things?

    Jim, you know me, never short of a little bit of provocation. I don't doubt any second there will PLENTY of good wines. I for one, stopped thinking a long time ago that "odd" wines were no good. Only, the announcement focuses on the "deviant" side of the exhibits in the first place. This is my main concern : being different, rather than outstanding, becomes the teasing, the point of appeal.
