What did you think? Worthy of a score over 90 points?

I've heard so many stories about reviewers. I'm not going to say it out loud because I don't want to get sued for slander( most of these are told second hand), but I wouldn't doubt they are true. I've seen reviewers so drunk they made assses out of themselves. I've heard of reviewers sitting next to someone local (a winemaker) being fed info by while they tasted all the wines from the valley. What kind of info? Who knows. I've heard of reviewers begging for someone's wine to review so they could be part of the "IN" crowd.

I read something the other day, a winemaker said a reviewers scale should consist of two options: Yum or Yuck. I kind of like that. I think people get too caught up in the rest.

On another front, I saw a t-shirt that said "If you don't like Riesling, you are a fucking idiot"
Too strong? Its what i want to say about 50 times a day!!
