										It was almost ironic, for TasteCamp participants who had also visited Virginia for the Wine Bloggers Conference, last year. The weather for the first tasting of this three-day tour of North Virginia wine country was reminiscent of the much-discussed heat of last July, with temperatures reaching into the 90s.
90 degrees is better than 100, however, [...]]]></description>

										So, when is TasteCamp 2012, again?
What do you mean, two weeks?
Wow. Time sure flies by when you&#8217;re organizing a visit to a wine region. But the important thing is that the agenda for TasteCamp is essentially complete, except for a couple of knick-knacks and details, and that we&#8217;re very happy with the experience that participants [...]]]></description>

										Last week, Tom Wark published an extremely interesting and enlightening analysis of wines rated 100 pts &#8211; a perfect score &#8211; by Robert M.

I think they’re more confusing than helpful, and that their reliability is so low as to render them useless. That’s why I never used any scoring system for reviewing wines on this blog, and never will.
