The Educated Wine Palate vs John Kass and Me
John Kass (registration required) and I don't drink
el vino but we do drink the brews. So we can only wonder at people who improve their brains and their palates to tell the difference between wines.
The Brian Wine Chart includes these continua:
- Taste: From sweet (1) to not sweet (10).
- Buzz: From good (1) to very good (10).
- Price: From cheep (1) to "I'll never taste it" and beyond (10).
For instance, I give
St. James Velvet Red scores a 3.5.3.
Les Bourgeois Riverboat Red scores a 1.6.3.
Only Guinness Draught scores better, 1.1.1. What, you say, it's not wine? Well, it's not cheap either, but it's the contender to beat!
