Thanks, Mark. I heard that Parker took his shots at “irresponsible bloggers” for a change.

Did he state ‘present company excluded’ at all?

#5

At the conference, much of the talk was about how the future of wine journalism is blogging, then Parker goes on its rant…I am awaiting the video of his commentary.

I also saw an email that his tasting showed very poorly. That many of the wines were not good, but I got no more specifics.

No conflict of interest there for David Denton…

I just ran Parker’s Grenache tasting > in Logrono, Spain last week where we had 7 great 2007 CDPs. All 7 were smokin.

I trust my source…

Parker finds himself kissing up to Gary V.

In addition, the “responsible” blogging site he refers to has his event at 450 ppl, not “650 ppl, with a waitlist of 200”

Now, I am told that there were only seats for 500 people!

I cannot wait to see the video of a 2-3 minute standing ovation. Never even seen that at a concert. Usually one minute tops…

Wow, that’s disgusting.

You can watch the video of the standing ovation for Bob Parker here…

It went on for 25 seconds by my count.

#13

the one for the cooks (I assume those in black t-shirts were the cooks/chefs) was 40 seconds by my watch

#14

And I got 26 seconds for his.

Perhaps his ‘3 minutes’ was ‘3 minutes Canadian’…that’s what he was referring to. Otherwise, he was ‘just kidding’ or ‘trying to make a joke’.

#15

yeah, I did not want to embarass him by letting him know that the help got more applause than him.

#16

I like how he can be seen actually clapping for himself … klassy. [thumbs-up.gif]
