Is The Worm Turning?

[Innkeeper]

This is the headline story in today's "Dan Berger Vintage Experiences." Dan has observed that restaurants are turning away from high scoring wines. The reason is, as we have discussed around here before, they don't go with food. Foods that do go with food usually get low numeric ratings, so restaurants don't want those scores on their winecards either. So, more and more are droping ratings all together.

Dan thinks that retailers can still make good use of the ratings. He uses an example that I use all the time. Buyers will buy a wine with a high score and a reasonable price. Also retail buyers will buy for quaffing as well as wine for food, and some high scoring wines are fine for sipping on the veranda.
