And it is gone
i think it was deleted before you could even post it here.
you may be stealth for a couple of minutes…let’s keep it going…
talked too soon I guess…Mao is on fire tonight. Someone should keep him up all night.
He’s already deleted the next thread one of us tries to post.
anybody care to conjecture on what the point was of putting a sticky on Wilfred’s post only to delete it a short while later? I don’t get it really unless Parker was going to do a point by point response to try and end this only to decide it was too messy.
Wilfred’s post is now completely gone… invalid thread.
Saved this before it got deleted…someone please tell me how this fits into the description befitting a deletion…

Who has deleting power besides Mark?

If its not here it never happened. You must have posted in your dream. No way that any post on an important issue would be deleted.

I think he has already gotten someone to write code and automate the process 
Shoving the topic back under the rug???
To me the worst part is the PRICE inflation.
In our local “Total Wine & More”, the 2003 First Growths cost $1000 per bottle.
[I kid you not.]
What kind of “consumer” consumes a $1000 wine?
30 years ago, when Parker was first coming along, the first growths might have cost what? $40? $60? $75?
Heck, as I understand it, DRC was available in the general vicinity of $100 as recently as about 1990.
At those prices, you could make the case that normal people might actually be able to purchase & “consume” the wines.
But $1000 per bottle?
Fuhgeddaboudit.
PS: Truth be told - at those prices, free tasting samples from the vignerons could plausibly constitute bribes.

Max if you and Dan would like I would be happy to post a goodbye for you two. I am not banned and don’t care if I am so it would be my pleasure. I would put ot in the 2008 Bordeaux thread where your thoughts belong.
Go for it Jack! It may go stealth in that thread for just a little bit. Thanks…it is too bad really but as I see it, it’s his loss.
As for Mark Squires, I gave him pre-approval to take government (not industry) sponsored tips to Israel, Greece, and Portugal, all wine regions I call “emerging” and that are not covered in depth in my publications. He has been allowed three trips to visit these viticultural regions. However, I have decided that this has to be discontinued as well even if it means sacrificing coverage in these areas.
I think that’s a terrible mistake.
If there isn’t room in the budget to send Squires & Miller to these new markets, then I don’t have any problem with them accepting industry money so that they can make the trip.
It’s got to be a huge blow to the winemakers in those countries, as well.
I’m banned, but he keeps deleting my thoughts before I can even think them. This has got to stop! ![[dash1.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/4/419b32ffe31ad6b2f9b831e5805986129c20f02d.gif "hithead"){kind=small}
One more try

For all here who have debated, loved or even hated, Dan and Max bid you a fond goodbye.
They love wine and those who truly enjoy and appreciate it will always be friends to them. If interested you can always find them through their websites.
Cheers and the best from 2 good Wine Guys.
that’s pretty funny! [laughingneqw.gif]
Are you really banned though?!?
Looks like I missed some fun posts. I hope the furor doesnt die down - hopefully there’s a good NYT article in the works.
