it.The Nonsense of Wine: Fieldbrook Winery chief Bob Hodgson, husband of Journal owner Judy Hodgson, talks with Reuters about his statistics-driven scientific paper which mostly proves that wine competitions are bunk.
The shocker comes at the end: Hodgson advises salting your wine before quaffing.
This article appears in Elrod’s Rule.
am I missing some joke here or are you completely off base on that salt thing? yeah, you made me read the whole thing…..Humboldt College, never heard of such a thing.
I was confused for a sec too, unanonymous. "My advice to wine consumers is just to be a bit skeptical when they see a gold medal on a bottle. They should take it with a grain of salt."
Laff riot, eh?
My sides hurt.
I think he means you should take salt with gold medal wine only.
yes,, taste is personal. I have known people who would put a gold medal on night train… please note past tense!
