I love #RedWines much more than #WhiteWines, but I prefer "#NewWorld", fruit-forward reds I can drink now, rather than the "#OldWorld" #French styles that require years of aging and develop flavor notes I hate like heavy oak, tobacco, smoke, and leather.

I especially hate oak and don't drink Chardonnay or other similar wines, except, maybe, an unoaked version.

#French snobbery is costing them. Not everyone can afford the time and money for fine wine; we want drinkable.
