Peter Pharos (via Tim Atkin) on wine criticism

After Lisa Perroti-Brown threw all other wine critics under the bus, I enjoyed this article, and the following sample, honest, tasting note:

Jason is a tech millionaire who knows diddly-squat about wine, but thinks a winery might finally get NBA players to return his calls. He has something of the sexual predator about him, which would explain why he has that particular New York law firm on a retainer. His wines taste like oak chips soaked in vodka Red Bull, and they have already sold out, mostly to the yachts of his tech bro buddies who were recently told you shouldn’t be drinking beer post-IPO. Serve with Soylent and sociopathy.

Wow, quite the excerpt!

Very unfair of Tim to publish an excerpt of our reviews before publication! [rofl.gif]
