Robert Parker's Bitch
You’ve got to love a winemaker with a sense of humor. Here we have Pinotblogger Josh Hermsmeyer (of Russian River's Capozzi Winery) wearing the t-shirt I had made up and dared him to wear. (We were having a blog dialog about whether or not winemakers are going against their own palates to please wine critic Robert Parker, Jr. My comment was that I didn’t think all winemakers had become Parker’s bitches, whoring themselves out for high scores. I thought “Parker’s bitch” had a nice ring to it, and Josh agreed. Any other winemakers out there got the cojones?)
By the way, I recently interviewed Josh for an article about getting the most from your winery blog.
FANTASTIC! Now you need to make one that says "I went to Napa and made a super-ripe Cab but only got 88 points from Jim Laube"

It is not as funny the second time around but I got the chutzpah to wear that shirt! Can we start a Bob's bitches club?

"Any other winemaker out there got the cajones?"
If you are talking about gonads, I think you mean "cojones", as I don't understand what the relevance of large boxes "cajones") would be to all this.

You really do need to turn to commercial production of those shirts. Bonus points if you convince Jancis Robinson to wear one!
