Let’s Talk Wine
- “It’s not snobby to know your wines. Geeky maybe, but not snobby,” says Outer Space Wines’ founder Dan Dawson. Owners Thad and Emily Duprey will cheerfully tell you as much or as little as you want about the wines they recommend.
- “So much of wine is about context. Where it’s from in relation to the customer. How it compares to wines like it. How this wine differs from that wine and why. Understanding how a wine relates to the individual customer is the essence of being a wine merchant.” Dan Dawson
“Plenty of wine folk know their wines inside and out. Plenty more are easy to talk to.
Outer Space is one of the few wine shops I know that can do both very well.”
