Robert Parker's Bitch from Josh Hermsmeyer on Vimeo.

Here in New York, we don't really need to worry about Robert Parker or James Laube — they don't taste NY wines for their respective publications. For Parker's Wine Advocate, David Schildknecht covers New York and for the Wine Spectator, people like Thomas Matthews, Mitch Frank and James Molesworth taste and write about the wines of New York. 

Still, this video put together by Tina Caputo of  Vineyard and Winery Management should be of interest to anyone who drinks or makes wine. And of course I'd be remiss not to give my buddy Josh Hermsmeyer a shout out for his contribution. Love the t-shirt.

Maybe one day NY winemakers will have to get "Lenn Thompson's Bitch" t-shirts made?

No chance. Even if I did hold any weight in the industry, I like balance, elegance and terroir, the types of wines that I hope winemakers like to make for themselves, not for anyone else.
