For a while I strove to align myself with Parker's advice, with the assistance of a very good Chicago wine merchant...buying his books, subscribing to the Wine Advocate, and even having the chance to meet him and have him inscribe my books.
I always loved the adage, "Life is too short to drink cheap wine."
Alas, he overestimated the life of a number of '82 Bordeaux, much to my regret.
Now, with aging (and, probably, mis-treated taste buds) I watch the younger generation go through my prior antics...I wish them better luck and longer-lived tasting.
I could have had more work done on Red, but I'm quite pleased at what I have to enjoy now.
