What's Robert Parker classification?

Sorry    Robert Parker is a great Wine critic known in the whole wine's world. He established a note system for wines from 1 to 100. He is a specialist and have a great sense of smell and taste, he is also a human being with his own personal preferences. And it is a big problem because the wines which have great qualities and are in his personal preferences have great scores and the wines that could be very interesting but have  a different taste, flavor or philosophy are underscored. Robert Parker have a great audience, especially among neophytes, and it means some, even a lot of winemakers are trying or will try to make wines that please Robert Parker. It is absolutely not Parker's fault but IMHO It means a disaster for diversity and civilisation    one kind of coke, one kind of wine, one kind of tea, one kind of... And one kind of lion figurine style   I hope we will be able to appreciate different styles for a long time  

Kiki!!! such an amazing example !!! Salut !! I have encountered many who ridiculed my appreciation for this Lioness !! Guess they should be told about the RObert Parker classification !! The Sommelier Parker did his job with the wines but then there are always some consumers that enjoy a good wine for different reasons

Love this Lioness for her classic attitude and stance !

Thank's for your support Susanne and James
