Haven't we moved beyond needing a bottle of claret on every wine list?
Certainly not if you ask me!!!
As you say, tastes do vary but I don't feel too lonely in feeling that the great Bordeaux age and taste differently from any other. In that sense, having only Bordeaux wines would mean some other tastes would not be accounted for, but in their complete absence an entire style is out. Parker mania means many people have now taken to enjoy far bolder, far fruitier, and often far more alcohol-loaded red wines, but even without going all the way to a one of a kind Petrus, those of us who prefer more complex (dare I say subtle?) and aged wines will have badly missed a Bordeaux growth in the offerings of my last few visits.
