The controversy over high alcohol levels in wine continues unabated. The subject seems to arouse strong feelings because it obliquely questions one's taste, and no one likes to be accused of having poor taste! Unquestionably, California produces too many wines that are impressively massive, but as undrinkable as cough syrup. While the underlying issue is that people have different ideas of what is good-I like oranges, you like apples-insecurity and pride get in the way, and the argument degrades into, "I'm right, and you're wrong." For me, every wine style has its place; I drink light, crisp, minerally rieslings with lower alcohol levels in the summertime and hearty reds like Châteauneuf du Pape and Amarone in the winter. One of the great joys of wine is that it is so varied-you can always find the right match for the meal and your mood.
