When it's a genuinely gorgeous vintage, all that's said is that conditions were perfect, the wines are stunning, blah, blah, blah. Remember Parker's 19 100 Point Bordeaux in '09? <br /><br />But when the weather sucks, as it did in 2013, suddenly it's about how surprisingly good the wines are, how our chateau picked before the rains, or was spared from the hail, though our neighbors were killed. The reports read like news stories that talk about horrendous multi-car accidents, and the wonderful tales of the survivors. <br /><br />The proof, of course, will be in the bottles. And, for Bordeaux, hell, there's always the Chinese.Ron Washam, HMWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238869156614617705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-44856243964981214162013-11-04T16:32:57.805-08:002013-11-04T16:32:57.805-08:00Agree with Quizicat (who has some bitchin' gog...Agree with Quizicat (who has some bitchin' goggles there).<br /><br />Left my comments on the other side of the pond. Particularly liked the Nancy Grace and Ann Coulter references. (I presume those are in there for readers from this side of the pond.)<br /><br />The Roman Polanski reference was a nice touch! And the MW quotes were lovely.
