A terrific book by Gregory Taber was written about the tasting which I highly recommend. Here's an excerpt for everyone's enjoyment: simonsays.com Funny thing is, it happened again 30 years after the le shock. sfgate.com

EP, maybe that was it. Thanks for the link. But I recall something about Bordeaux and there was an element of fraud in it. Wines were purported to be something and rated highly although they were something else. I thought it was more along the lines of wine judges being fooled. Or maybe wines with sugars added rated highly. But a third of a century has dulled my memory. I have the thing classified under "Wine snobs not as hot as they like to think they are and if it doesn't taste like vinegar and in fact tastes okay, it's good enough wine". Of course some wines are simply really delicious and smooth and full and all that stuff. Others rough. Congeniality? The other subjects are much more interesting. And important. Talking about wine is a waste of time and life [to me anyway]. Same with rugby. I have saved a LOT of time by ignoring anything to do with rugby and the All Blacks who were defeated by France. Mismeasurement and repression of women [and men] is serious business. Perhaps wine is more important to some people. Or interesting. Or something. But maybe the bombing of Iran is what you found uncongenial. Mqurice
