Of Course Wine Ratings are Variable

November 17th, 2009 | Category: Uncategorized

Leonard Mlodinow asks in the Wall Street Journal:

“As a consumer, accepting that one taster’s tobacco and leather is another’s blueberries and currants, that a 91 and a 96 rating are interchangeable, or that a wine winning a gold medal in one competition is likely thrown in the pooper in others presents a challenge. If you ignore the web of medals and ratings, how do you decide where to spend your money?”

My answer: ask your local wine professional. People who work in wine specialty shops taste way more wine than you do, and have tasted most of the wines in their store more recently than the critics have.
