Wine Ratings

[Drew]

The first problem is your comparing Burgundy (Louis Latour) to California Pinot Noir...generally apples and oranges. Completely different styles. Also comparing an expensive wine to an inexpensive one, again generally, the expensive one wins out most of the time. Now, personally, I don't like Burgundy so I'm betting that it was that wine that upset your stomach. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img] Kudos for PA State run stores? You must be joking! I visit PA often, only live a few miles south, and their State Runs are awful, no selection, bad pricing and uneducated help. Wine ratings from "noted" critics don't bother me as long as I know their palate. I do follow Big Bob from WA as there is a side of me that likes the big extracted wines that he rates high. What I don't like about critic scores is that the higher scored wines become trophys limiting their availability to us wine DRINKERS into the hands of wine FLIPPERS.
