People are more comfortable learning about wine because now they can just Google, you know, 'Soave, ' and say, 'Oh, O.K., cool.'
I am surprised by how not-adopted the video reply has been. What keeps other people from doing it, I think, is that they think a video comes across as 'I'm cool, look at how many e-mails I get.' That perception doesn't scare me, because I know who I am.
