Santa Julia?

[Thomas]

Don't get me started on ratings--the whole concept is suspect, I don't care how many points or stars.

Since I sell wine for a living, I'd rather my customers trust my judgment not Parker's or the Wine Expectorant or AlcoholReviews.com. I know what my individual customers like, I know what I like, and I know a lot about the subject. I like to think that my recommendations come with background and meaning, not to mention with food and price in mind.

In fact, some would say I am a four-star retailer--but what do they know?
