In Reply to: RE: Wine Tasting Trials... posted by mkuller on February 10, 2016 at 10:27:23
The review I saw on Amazon says the reviews are done by over 500 volunteers. Sort of like Cellar Tracker?
I don't know...believe me I look for cheap wine that is good....I drink a french sparkler that is around 15 that I really like (but its not champagne) I doubt it tastes like Dom, but so what?
But I'm less successful finding good reds at that price point (don't discount that what is good to me is not good to you.)
I don't know about the magazines. I mean I could make guesses, but I don't know.
Follow Ups:
...like I've said, it's like the Pepsi Challenge - the sweeter one wins the tasting but the other one is the one you prefer to drink at home.
In amateur blind tasting "drinkability" (nothing bad) and fruit trump depth and complexity.
The winning wine may not always be my favorite or the one I'd chose to drink at home.
At home in a relaxed setting I taste things in good wines I would miss in a comparison with 5 others over a couple of hours.
Unless guys like Laube and Parker are super-tasters, there may be something fishy going on in their ratings.
