It’s been too long since we had a 1WD TV episode, and so today I give you a hastily-recorded (but carefully considered!) take on the arguments both for and against the inflation of wine ratings by popular wine critics (yes, there is a good argument against it!):

Mentioned in this episode:

• The 2010 Romanee Conti vintage tasting
• MW Mary Ewing Mulligan calling me a hard-ass grader

Cheers!
