I picked up a copy and discovered that his taste and mine are 180 degrees out of phase. Are there any similar books in print? It is useful to have an indicator as to which wines would suit my taste. Parker thinks all the wines I like are feminine and wimpy. Er... sorry Bob. Being a wine cheapo (perhaps a cheap wino), I favor Cotes de Bourg and other bargain Bordeaux. These wines seem to be catch as catch can, really tasty cheap wines ($3-$5) that come through town once and can never be found again. Does anyone out there share my affection? -cliff -- cliff spencer {harvard, ihnp4, decvax}!bbnccv!cspencer cspencer@bbncc5.arpa
