What nonsense. Seriously, the guy is maybe 15 years behind the times. The real trend to watch is the proliferation, here and abroad, of ultra-traditionalist artisinal wines by small producers and a network of importers, shops, and customers that support them. (Moore Brothers, for example, which is opening a shop in NYC.)

There’s more great, terroir-driven wine being made now than ever before. IIRC Matt Kramer has written that very thing.
