I can only imagine how they actually behaved in the tasting rooms (I imagine snickering tasting room attendants after they left).<BR/><BR/>Pecunium, welcome. I don't doubt that people can make good wine in their garages, I just found it amusing given the fact that their next comment was about being slaves to a point system!<BR/><BR/>Huevos, exactly! I bet they were the same type. They certainly had me rolling my eyes!<BR/><BR/>Catie, thanks for visiting. Rely on their own tastebuds? Perish the thought, that would simply be too much work! ;)<BR/><BR/>Joe, we had an excellent trip (it was actually our honeymoon last summer) and our set to return next month actually. More about that later today!Sonadorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01267916648440750132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37542126.post-35287916055042869692007-03-18T00:25:00.000-04:002007-03-18T00:25:00.000-04:00Hmm - I find that 93 point minimum and the homemad...Hmm - I find that 93 point minimum and the homemade wine comment fascinating. Do they propose Parker would rate their "garagiste" wine at least a 93? Hillarious. Hope you had a good trip to Sonoma - I will probably go there this fall.

While they may consider themselves as "wine snobs or "aficionados" - I'm not impressed. Something tells me they couldn't tell the difference between a 95 or a 89. In my opinion, a real wine aficionado doesn't care about a number, it's about the art of the wine Shall we start putting numbers on Picassos and Gaugins?<BR/><BR/>Doesn't anyone rely on their personal tastebuds anymore? heh. <BR/><BR/>Keep on blogging.
