L.A. Times: Wine Judges Unsteady

Wine judges are rather unsteady, study finds
(Los Angeles Times, 1/28)

A judge samples entries at the New York Wine and Food Classic at the Copia food, wine and arts center in Napa, Calif., in August 2007. Copia closed late last year. Only 10% in a four-year study of California State Fair judging were able to consistently give the same rating, or something close, to the same wine sampled multiple times in a large blind tasting.

The whole thing is a fraud to begin with. It's fermented grape juice!
