...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.
