Musings on the 44th anniversary of #judgmentofparis
A wine lover's wishlist — penned on the 44th anniversary of the legendary 1976 Judgment of Paris tasting that changed wine history.

Wines get rated blind
DRC, Petrus or a brand new find
And not 'a' wine score but a range
So when ratings change, it's a little less strange
Tasting notes say what you actually smell
What you can taste and unambiguously tell
Wine awards that remain far and few
Where wine judges could all fit on a pew
Riedel glasses that you can actually buy
And enjoy that wine without sweating joy
House pour that's more wine than water
And a premium bottle for less than kidney barter
Wine searcher listings that you can buy near home
Where the outlet next door doesn't ship via Rome
Tweets that auto hide, when it's 'having a Petrus tonight'
And Groupon that pops up, when it has a 'Lafite' in sight
