Regarding relying on scores when buying wine - how else are we supposed to differentiate? There are so many options, and you have no idea by looking at the region, varietal, producer, vintage, label, etc. how good the wine is inside the bottle. Having at least one expert give a thumbs up is the best lead most of us have when deciding what to buy. Sure, over time we learn and we can make more independent decisions. However, for most of us, relying on ratings is an entirely rational thing to do.

Gary, I challenge you to a game of paper football. Can you make a 25 foot field goal? I can, promise.

Geez, Gary, that was interesting in the negative sense. Actually, I sort of enjoyed watching you strike out - just like your JETS against my BROWNS yesterday afternoon!!

QOTD: We shop for food at the local grocery store chain, Giant Eagle. But we also shop at Trader Joe’s for some items and we get meat at Cleveland’s West Side Market, which is awesome.

I live in Seattle and do my shopping at Trader Joe’s, QFC, and farmers markets. I’m a little sad my local farmers market just closed down for the winter, but Pike Place is open all year round (We just celebrated it’s centennial). Interesting episode; I dug it!

Yeah, nice shout to the Cactus Juice! That takes me back…those were dark dark days.

Egg Nog in wine…is that a good thing? Obviously not. Remind me never to go wine shopping with you! Way to jump on the grenade. Sacrificing yourself for the good of the wine world.

QOTD: Whole “Paycheck” Foods on a regular basis, but Pike’s Place Market for special dinners like surf ‘n turf night coming up this Friday!

So I know I am HUGE LURKER(SP?) but, you went 0 for 3 and all your choices had scores and this is illustrating that even you Gary do shop with scores. So, why did you rely on scores…we shouldn’t as you usually say. But, the thing is you can usually give yourself some type of “insurance” when buying since the experts did like them. I know I mainly try to shop for scores and bought wine with scores, that have dissapointed. But is there any chance that you can litterally hit random on the computer and pick any 3 non-scored wines and see how it goes for an episode???
Thanks for all your help and entertainment you have given me out here.
