Re: Robert Parker 96 points wine - worth USD150?

Why on Earth would I want to pay $150 for a wine Parker had rated 96 points when I could, with a bit more work, buy a wine of equal quality that he hadn't reviewed for maybe 2/3 the price or less.
I see no reason to pay the 'Parker Premium' just to own a wine the Great Bobster has approved. I'd rather buy one that yours truly approves of for much less money.
If you must rely on someone else's opinion than your own, go with Tanzer - quite reliable and nowhere near the effect on prices that either the Wine Speculator or RP have.
