You have to start somewhere, but I'd love to be able to get wine recommendations based on my personal favourites + some heuristics that come up with something less obvious or that I wouldn't pick otherwise. I don't care so much about his list, but being able to use the same engine he did with my own starting point would be great. On a side note, I wonder how the recommendations are influenced by the audience. i.e. wine.com is presumably used by US customers, so perhaps it could explain why French wines are described in certain ways compared to California. But you might get the opposite if you look at a European website.
