Musings on the 40th anniversary of #judgmentofparis

Wines get rated blind

DRC, Petrus or a brand new find

And not ‘a’ wine score but a range

So when ratings change, it’s a little less strange

Tasting notes say what you actually smell

What you can taste and unambiguously tell

Wine awards that remain far and few

Where wine judges could all fit on a pew 

Riedel glasses that you can actually buy

And enjoy that wine without sweating joy

House pour that’s more wine than water

And a premium bottle for less than kidney barter

Wine searcher listings that you can buy near home

Where the outlet next door doesn’t ship via Rome

Tweets that auto hide, when it’s ‘having a Petrus tonight’

​And Groupon that pops up, when it has a ‘Lafite’ in sight
