Curtis Dahl Thinks:

A fair restaurant corkage fee is: 

None

A tell-tale sign of a wine snob is: 

His face

The wine region I most want to visit: 

Umbria, la caruna

My "wish list" of wines I want to acquire soon: 

La Sirena, Flaccinello, and Can Blau

My biggest wine pet peeve: 

I am always asked "what wines should I buy" buy what tastes good to you and stop worrying what other people say, or think. (including wine ratings)

My favorite wine quote: 

"I like to drink wine more than I used to."
Vito Corleone in The Godfather (1972)

My dream wine to one day taste or own: 

Being in the business I have the luxury of trying many wines from all over the world. I am always happy in tasting them all (and I never spit!)

The best wines I have ever tasted: 

Quintarelli Amarone, Biondi Santi Brunello di Montalcino, Any wines by Fontodi, Can Blau,Finca San Doval

The people with whom I most often enjoy wine: 

family and friends

The last wine I had that I absolutely loved: 

finca san doval

What I think of the movie Sideways: 

good...he was a little too much of a downer...and dark for me. I prefer Bottleshock.

My thoughts on the 100 point rating scale made famous by Robert Parker and emulated by seemingly everyone: 

Helps people feel more confident when they buy....but as I said beauty is in the be-holder. The 100 pt score is a fair starting point but get out there and taste!
