Völlig absurd, da wird sich despektierlich über Teilnehmer geäußert, die "nur" Weine aus kleineren Appelationen oder von weniger bekannten Erzeugern mitgebracht haben.

One memory I have is of Robert Parker being at the event when I was there--when we were on friendly terms. I went up to Bob with my bottle of DRC Richebourg in hand, to offer him a taste/glass. I remember his reply. "Normally, I'd jump at the chance to taste that, but tonight with so many legends, I just have to say no."

I concluded that it really wasn't my scene.

dazu finde ich diesen kleinen beitrag aus wineberserkers zu diesem "event" sehr entlarvend:
