There are two big issues with spreading the wonders of wine to a broader market:

-Who you are writing for?
-Access

The later is the big one as finding wines once you read about them is a huge problem. And for the broader market, the closer you tie information and access, the better it is.

I have some ideas on this that we can discuss over wine this weekend.

Look forward to you helping me spread the buzz in London soon!

No one better to do it than you.

Good luck with it.

Love the photo and comment of ‘the Macchu Picchu of Italy’ on your post :)

Apart from all the technical aspects, there is so much more to this whole category regarding small producers and ‘authenticity’. For example in Europe in certain Alpine areas (and others covered by CERVIM) it is the fact that small producers are reviving (heroically) often previously abandoned plots in seriously steep mountain areas that makes for much of the excitement… And somehow that excitement carries through to the freshness and flavours that emerge in some of the wines.
