And we think you're full of shit about the '07 Bordeaux as well Robert Parker
was fined 2000 Euros by a French court for uttering false accusations against former associate Hanna Agostini, author of
The Anatomy of a Myth, which (among other things) claimed Parker often wrote about wines he'd not tasted. In related news, it was announced that

America drinks and goes home Bordeaux producers, faced with a less-than-stellar 2007 vintage to take to market this year,
