Wacko Wine Personalities

It's a pretty commonly known thing that there are a lot of - well . . . weirdos - in the wine world. It takes a specific type of personality to uproot yourself and your family to work a vineyard, experiment with the process and make some unique and hopefully great wine. Today I came across a fantastic Vinography post on that very subject, appropriately titled - "Crackpots, Wackos, Nutjobs and Wine: a Winning Combination."

The post starts with a central theory that most of the great wines the Vinography blogger has drunk in his lifetime were made by one of the aforementioned types of people. Judging from my own experience with friends or acquaintances producing great wine on a small scale, the revelation doesn't comes as much of a surprise to me. Anyway, if you want a glimpse into the weirder side of the wine world, this post is a great place to start.
