James sure seems to be drinking from his 100 point Lalique glass a lot lately…it amazes me how many “perfect” wines I’ve gotten emails about. I have to wonder how others interpret the slew of perfect wines the man keeps tasting…

It’s like a wine version of This Is Spinal Tap…wait, was it really Christopher Guest under the long hair? “You know, what I love about Baja wines…is that they go to 11.”
What exactly is the accent he’s going for when he pronounces words like Grenache, Carignan, Syrah? It’s the weirdest tic to have - pronounce the names of grapes like you’re in some bad comic movie.
