Rodney Alcala

As Rodney landed in NY yesterday, I thought it was a good time to repost this piece.

" I had never heard of this particular man referred to as "The Dating Game Serial Killer." I don't own a TV. Haven't for over 20 years. Maybe that's why? But last April, I was in NOLA for the Independent Champagne and Sparkling Wine Invitational. The volcano had blown. The vignerons over for the event were stranded. Wanting to see the spectacle that was messing up flights I turned on the TV in the hotel as I as packing. "

Another side of Alice, this one in the March 7th New York Magazine.

My Photo

I'm hunting the Leon Trotskys, the Philip Roths, the Chaucers and the Edith Whartons of the wine world. I want them natural and most of all, I want them to speak the truth even if we argue. With this messiah thing going on, I'm trying to swell the ranks of those who crave the differences in each vintage, celebrate nuance and desire wines that make them think, laugh, and feel. Welcome.
