About the Ratings.....
Unfortunately, there're accusations flying that scores contributed from this blog are 'screwing up the points system' (downwards) in a popular review website. What I can say is, the ratings here are admittedly stricter than the Parker scale, but only so that true 'star' wines are rated 90+ pointers. Don't want to end up w a 'Parker problem'...too many wines rated in the tight range of 85-95 and pretty average wines scoring 80+ out of politeness than anything IMO (70s is 'bad' in Parker-speak).
Overall, my scoring has a wider range:
'Bad to Average' - 5.0-6.9
'Good' -7.0-7.9
'Excellent' - 8.0-8.9
'Stars' - 9.0-10
I reckon this scale is around -5 to -8 fr the Parker scale. Hope no more 'complaints' arise and if they do, I'd urge them to simply just ignore this site & its ratings...and let live.
