The HoseMaster of Wine [Humor]

Ron Washam has posted another raucous skewering of Sir Robert that targets the Wine Advocate's scandal involving Jay Miller. Some of the blog's comments are almost as funny. In three parts:

    Oh my, a literary Borat.

    I hereby announce a 100-point rating system for skewerings of Parker. I give this guy's effort an 89, slight overtones of cassis-laced bile. Overwrought in the midpalate, short finish. Best enjoyed in the next year, as the tannins are completely unwound.

      Hmph. On the Dorothy Parker scale those would score somewhere between Yellow Tail and 2BC.

        Hi, Akitist: True, but the scale, being about and after Parker, merited some inflation, DYT? Bought and paid for, I say...
