I'm far less than half of whatever Robert Parker is but I'm definitely not jealous.

This is childish behavior and I expect better from all of you. Lets face it, you gentlemen aren't even half of what Robert Parker is, combined. I expect apologies and retractions of your comments on each of your blogs.

It sums up all the commentary being posted on the subject, not only here, but on other blogs and also the subject of two feature stories in the current Whisky Advocate. You said it very well, and I promise not to push THAT line of thought any further -- well, at least not here :=))<br /><br />You should know, however, that Screaming Eagle Cabernet isn't their most prestigeous expression. In fact, it's pretty much made for the masses (were they ever to find any of it). All of us illuminati know that <i>Ultra-Sauvignon</i> (know to us insiders as "SEUS" is the epitomy of what fine, rare, wine should taste like. Only one barrel is produced per decade, and the bottles are gifted only to world leaders and pop music stars, so if you meet someone who claims to have tasted any of this, you know they must be on the good side of someone very important and you'd better do whatever they say.EllenJnoreply@blogger.com
