Though this may come as a shock to some people, I have decided to leap from the top rope and dive head first into the world of wine ratings. This was decided earlier this week in my interview on Fermentation.
Why? Never has there been a time where ratings meant so little, and price mattered so much. If there was a time mix things up, the time is now!
My ratings scale:
101.00 to 102.36 points (in increments of .17 of a point)
101.00, 101.17, 101.34, etc...
BUT-- Scores will have the extra bonus terms such as- "Crab Basket", "Monkey-Paw", "Drunken ManBearPig" etc... These terms will be added dynamically and never explained- but will matter just as much as the points. It is like funk. It is all about feel.
So a fine Lapierre Morgon may be scored something like--
101.85 "Silent Ferret Whistle!"
(followed by brief notes)
This is going to be like juggling hand grenades--- A total game changer!
------------------------
BONUS:
The first five retailers (online or traditional) to post Dirty South Wine Scores online or as displayed shelf-talkers will receive a custom Dirty South Wine T-Shirt. And the first five producers or importers to display the scores online will also receive a custom T-Shirt.
Wines will be tasted almost always in a completely unstructured environment- food, pizza, friends, hunting big game, etc.... Because that's when I want to taste (While pursuing those gawt-dang'd bush hogs!)
Wine is meant to be crunk!
(Everyone's wine gets at least 101 pts!!!)
