Mary, we just returned from the Masters golf tournament. I so enjoyed our long, get-acquainted phone conversation. I felt like I have known you for a long time. You made it so easy to start to get to know you. Thanks for the pictures. I printed out one to show to my sister when she comes for Chinese Checkers this afternoon. She'll tell me if you look like me ... I'm not good at seeing family resemblances. I'll reply to your e-mail tomorrow and send pictures.

It is his team and in a sense he signs his name by publishing them. I can't wait to see what happens when he retires! I definetely agree with you that wineries betting exclusively on a perceived "Parker" style are risking an awful lot. They risk becoming getting lost in the crowd amongst so many "look-alike" power wines...they are also risking a possible backlash trend after Parker goes.

He said he backed Jay's assessment though made a public statement on the Squires forum that they were not his reviews. Which begs the question, what will happen when Parker officially retires, and no one can call it "parkerization" anymore. Or will they having already made the word something that goes beyond the man? If Spain continues to put all their eggs in the "Parker" basket when it comes to marketing and promoting theirs wines(not that all do, but many are guilty), they maybe in for a rude awakening when he's gone.
