A California Natural Wine Trailblazer
Amy Atwood interviewed Tony earlier this year. She asked some great questions and made some great wine recommendations. In addition to her blog, Amy Atwood runs Amy Atwood Selections, a California-based wine wholesale and import company that specializes in natural, biodynamic, and organic wines.
Amy Atwood asked, "What do you think has been the biggest shift in the wine business during the past 5 years?"
Tony replied, "The old fossil gatekeepers are slowly leaving the wine buying positions in the wine shops and restaurants. They are being replaced by young and open-minded wine buyers who have open palates and have for a largely extent grown up in households that have embraced organic and natural food products. These young people have a better understanding of what I am doing. And don’t have the provincial attitudes of the old. Also they tend to by more adventurous and have tasted more wines from all over the world. The young have open palates that go beyond the normal and conventional wines of the older wine buyers."
