Cult wine and Rodney Dangerfield of wine

[edit]

The source is behind a paywall at Appellation America that is sometimes not visible on the Google search preview but since I have a subscription I can provide access to the article but I will also put the full quote here from the article. The "cult wine" quip is in Wine Business Monthly which is, currently, not behind a paywall should be freely accessible. AgneCheese/Wine 17:00, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]



Hi, I don't know how to format text here, but I don't think the quote about Rodney Dangerfield should be attributed to Jim Summers. In the linked article, it only appears in the caption of a photo without attribution. The simile, whether valid or not, is probably due to the author of the article. I'm also not sure it qualifies as a "cult wine." My understanding of "cult wine" is one that rich douchebags will pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars to obtain. Yet I have recently purchased a $60 "mystery case" from a high-end wine shop, which contained a 2002 vintage Summers estate bottled Charbono. Maybe this is the wine equivalent of discovering an unopened pack of first edition Magic cards in the gutter and finding a Black Lotus inside, but I doubt it. It's still a good wine though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1702:9D0:48E0:1833:E42:BF15:9925 (talk) 02:34, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
