Oenophile Alert: Wine Shortage Looms

The world is running short of wine, says Morgan Stanley. Is it also running out of corks?
A report released by the Australian Consumer and Beverage branch of Morgan Stanley earlier this month says that the world has gone from a wine surplus of more than 600 million unit cases in 2004 to near parity, now, of supply and demand. That elimination of the surplus, according to the report, has been the result of "an ongoing structural reduction in capacity."

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian." - Henry Ford

I could care less about a shortage of corks - screw caps are better closures. But a shortage of wine - that's an emergency! Sounds like it's time to buy my vineyard and start producing my own!
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

I'm afraid Napa's going to go to crap in the next few decades - I'm looking north at Washington (the Cab Francs from there are to die for) or Vancouver.
The number of wineries springing up in states all over this country are staggering - I couldn't believe how many I passed in Indiana on my last drive home to Ohio. There are a few gems to find for sure, but it's a learning curve that many will unfortunately never make an effort to truly overcome to make great wines. I'm happy to keep an open mind and try 'em though!

You must not have had a Quilceda Creek Cabernet (the Champoux and Kilpsun vineyards produce the best fruit), or tasted a Cayuse Syrah yet then! They easily equal and surpass the best Napa reds. If you can find any, give 'em a try - you'll be pleasantly surprised. My favorite wine shop,
Pike and Western Wine Shop
in Pike's Place, gets a small batch of Quilceda Creek every year that you can put in for a bottle or two of if you are on their mailing list. So far, I've only accidentally lucked out and had a friend stumble across some Cayuse at a wine shop in Montana - I'm still waiting to get on their mailing list for wines. In the meantime, I get Walla Walla Vintners Cabs and Seven Hills wines to tide me over.
