Oops

Many may have already read this article.

I propose a test.  Let's get together for a truly blind tasting and see if we can generate better than random numbers.  Ideas welcome.

  2. How about a test like this: 4 or 5 wines of the same year (like all 2003 right bank bordeaux).We will get wines with ratings from 82 to upper 90s. Then everyone will rate the wines on the 100 point scale.

  3. I like Jeff's idea... a different take on that would be to blind taste 4 or 5 different Pauillac's of different rating/prestige/price etc.
