Not even The Lord of the Wormwoods is much of a fan of your work:

I've never disagreed with (most of) his assertions, only been annoyed and offended by his online behavior.
But lest we descend into paranoia, I want to say that I don't think there's anything wrong with being a businessman. But the "I'm not doing it for the money and fame I only want to see the drink reborn" thing just won't wash anymore... for Ted, David or Peter (who never claimed to be anything other than an entrepreneur, as far as I know).
It's the whole aggressive, manipulative, Bill Gates strategy I find distasteful. Speaking of which: "the Blanchette is bottled in a distinctive 50cl bottle, and is priced very competitively at Ł25."
What the hell is competitive about $170 a liter?
"While you're visiting Absinthe Classics don't forget, if you haven't done so already, to try our newly launched Doubs Premium Absinthe, which continues to garner rave accolades from customers for its gorgeous colour, complex and spicy taste, and - although of course these vary from person to person - its noticable "secondary effects"."
Yes, this is an invitation that, should I become commercially involved with absinthe production, you may remind me of my standards.
Oh, and my favorite:
QUOTE
It's not so much "stealing" as it is simply using information learned.
When one of us has a new idea and we share it, some of us try it. No biggie.
Now imagine if, through Peter, the guys at Pernot decide to play with the TexRex Method™ (only an example) and find out it makes kickass absinthe and they sell shitloads of it. Eric feels dry-fucked. I know I would.
I'm not trying to stir anything up, create anti-sentiments or re-kindle paranoia, I just think it's wise to keep these things in mind.

Funny thing about that 1797...
I stand on record as thinking exactly the same thing at the time (even though some rah-rahers like Abs liked it). But it must've aged well, because I recently had the guts to try another glass just for kicks and I enjoyed it.

I'd say so...even though I haven't ordered from them since:

- Peter stated that Kallnacher compared to the best Suisse LBs
- Peter started pretending to be an actual "Absinthe expert"
