Even Bilious Bob “It’s Good To Be King” Parker cannot rake it in at that price per minute! Perhaps because he has a face for radio? Or could it be that comb-over halting his video career? This must really piss off Antonio Galloni, who is generating hours of video each week for nothing!

Nearly $2,000 a minute for these videos that consist of overstated hype and useless taste descriptors. It’s good to be a King in a Land of Fools.

Brent you are very much off base as many have already pointed out. Sit down and taste with a MW or MS and you will see a wine academic.

As for Suckling, I am 95 points on him being shown as a score for sale creep.

Brent,
As noted above I couldn’t see any way you could quantify a PhD in wine appreciation/knowledge, or every undergrad would be striving for it. You have no idea what it take to get a MW or MS, if you did you would not write such drivel.

Agree with Joe. The effort I have seen by those pursuing and attaining — and those who cannot get all the way there — to a Court of Master Sommelier MS designation is huge, years long. They don’t just give those out at the top level. And for crying out loud what is so pure about “academics” and universities in the first place? You think they aren’t infested with political, myopic and inwardly bred, self-serving peer review practices and standards? Talk about compromised institutions dependent on government funding… Don’t throw that word around expecting it to elevate your perspective, it does not.
