The WSJ, Parker, and The Ultimate Wine Lovers Guide aren't drinking my wine for me. My palate carries more weight than any guide, since I'm the one who the wine needs to please. I'm not going to enjoy a bad bottle of wine just because a reviewer liked it any more than I will a movie that got four stars. If Robert Parker wants to drink this, fine. I'll stick with wineries that produce products I actually like. There's a whole world of wine out there for me to explore. I'm not going to praise a bad bottle of juice just because it's different. In this case, from my experience, "different" doesn't equal "good." And, no, that doesn't mean one has to turn to the "evil empires" of the wine world to find consistency.
