Under the “B” for best – Superlative wine, absolutely the best in class, Outstanding! Hard to find anything better

Under  the “I” for interesting – Good, special qualities, no major defects.

Under the “N” for no good – Below acceptability, passably drinkable.

Under the “G” for great – Outstanding characteristics, excellent wine.

Under the “O” for oopsie – Completely no good, undrinkable, “Oh oh, what a mistake”

Although sometimes you don’t know what to expect from a bottle of wine, I make a practice of only drinking the “BIG” wines, wines that fall into the “B” for Best, the “I” for Interesting and the “G” for Great. The other wines just speak for themselves. Wine that is NO GOOD and Oopsies spell “NO”, and I will have no part of them. I don’t want to waste time or money on “Oopsies”. You are throwing your money away when you buy an INEXPENISVE or BAD bottle of wine (just because of the price) that falls into the “NO” grouping…as you either don’t enjoy it or you don’t drink it. Buying a lousy bottle of wine because it is priced well is spending too much money and a luxury I cannot afford. Whatever the price may be, wine that is surely worth more than the money that it costs to buy. As Jancis Robinson said “Every glass of wine we drink represents a whole year of vineyard cultivation, and perhaps several years of effort in the winery…yet most of us throw it down our throats, without even trying to ‘read it’ “ This presentations primary directive is to look at the “BIG” wines and regions produced in the world today. Hopefully the Bingo Juice concept of understanding wine will be magically transformed into a Vine to Wine understanding, which we come to realize is God’s gift to mankind.
