OK WW, I think we may be on the same page.
I'm still rather new to the wine world and generaly look at the tasters write up to pick my wine not the rating or the price.
It's just that the ground rules for this tasting dinner stipulated a 90+ rating.
Even though I did my search for 90+ wines I still made my selection from the write up not the price. It all lies in your own taste buds. I've had some very good wines that have had no rating, both above and below the 50 mark. I can also remember two tastings where I was able to sample a wine with a rating of 99 and one that ranked the almighty 100 (of course both were fairly expensive). Both of them ended in the dump bucket because they were so sickening sweet I could not drink them, even though others were raving about them.
I guess I'll have to wait till next months dinner when my palate tells me if my purchase was worth it.
I do Thank every one who has added their opinions to my posting and welcome anyone else that may wish to add their comments.
