Ya screw them and the snotty opinions Fred.
I'm not a fan of dry and tannic wines that suck the moisture off my tongue.
I agree with MD as well. Try some USA petite syrahs and zinfandels for big bouncy fruits.
The Cdn pinot noirs are younger fruit forward styles most often, but to get something a bit more refined and a broader range of styles, you have to look at a larger market (the Cdn pinot market is very small).
