100 Points is really happening.

And Bob engages in some revisionist history: "I always said your best palate is your own, not mine. I'm a guidepost. While I like to try and think I bring consistency, and I think my palate is uniform, this is not a scientific system."

Yeah. Paris-Match interview (courtesy of Lawrence Osbourne): [Consumers worldwide]..."have tended to agree with my thoughts."

Everyone agrees with Bob. Bob must be Right.
 
"What I didn't like was that I thought they hedged their bets too much. I said, come out and say it's s—. It's not that good, it is flawed, it is over-the-hill and past its prime. I just thought by using the 100-point-scale, it is a stake in the ground, the ultimate accountability."

And yet you never see a wine with a published score of 60 or 70.
