The Wine-Girl.net Rating Scale
I've never gotten along well with numbers. Whether it is balancing
my bank account or just doing basic math, numbers are not my thing.
Maybe that is why I have never liked the numerical rating scales for
wine. Wine elicits strong emotions from me, or none at all.
Wine
is emotional. For that reason, I have always used a sliding scale of
happy face to sad face. You can find these on all my wine notes, dating
back several years. Simplistic as it is, it better describes my
emotions and how I feel about the wine than any number could.
So,
when I try a wine and share it via the blog, I'm also going to start
rating it with my sliding scale of happy faces. (I suppose it's very
similar to the sliding pain scale they ask you to identify with in the
hospital, just more pleasant.) Take a look and once you get past your
initial laughter, tell me that it doesn't make perfect sense to you.
