Some of my posts aren't showing up.

Professional tasters normally arent thinking of dollar signs, we're thinking quality and balance. So if a cheap wine is a gold medal, it's a gold medal, Two Buck Chuck or no.

A lot of wine judges are forced to do a triangle tasting before being allowed to judge.

You judge three wines, then they switch the order secretly, and you have to give the same awards to the three wines.

Sorry I didn't do better than Woody.

I drink a LOT of beer. My problem is with the overwrought nature of American craft right now. Over ripe, over oaked wines, over hopped beers and burnt coffee.

LOVE the Firestone 805--can't get it outside Santa Barbara CVountyb though. Bring the balance back!

Beer, likely a nice Pranqster.

Spicy foods exacerbate heat and make alcohol taste hot.
