A CALIFORNIA FAVORITE

[WA Wino]

Jerry: I've always liked your dual scoring system, but this time I don't get it. You rate the J 98/88 and compared it to French Champagne, which sells in the $25-40 price range. Yet this CA sparkler, selling for $28, a 98 point wine, is marked done for value? 'Splain, please. Isn't it as good or better for the same or less money? Wouldn't the value rating actually go up?


I'm still waiting for the day when you rate some $10 wine 100 points for quality and have to invent a new scale for value. 100/150??
