My dilemma...New Hope New Life?

The image of Poppies in a field to me symbolize new life.  Actually, I kinda stole the whole imagry from Mike Peters (The Alarm) who used poppies all throughout the 80's & 90's for his band.  They were constantly trying to reinvent themselves as a revalent band, and this flower was their New Life.  What's that have to do with me...well, first I have a bit of a dilemma.

I'm sitting on a ton of PA wine that was graciously sent to me to review.  Unfortunately, I know for a fact that some of this precious juice is not socially acceptable.  Meaning no matter what I say about it, chances are if you bought a bottle, it would not be the greatest vino since sliced bread.  SO - do I review it, pan it, and post it for everyone to read?  Do I sugar-coat a review & post?  Or do I ignore it all together?  I've discussed this with many a person in our PA wine industry, and panning wines would just be so counter productive for the state.  Sugar coating would probably hurt my integrity...I mean, I'm no expert, but I have a knack for picking up things that I know the everyday wine drinker would be interested in.  Those reviews always end up on my home page (www.VinoVic.com). And finally, by ignoring the wine altogether, those producers who work all so hard on their passions would have no idea where they stand versus the rest of the state.  These various competition medals, to me, are crap.  More times than not, the better vineyards are not represented...and if they were, some of these medals & awards would go to them.  So...giving feedback & setting bars, per se, might be helpful. 

I've decided to review everything.  In addition, I'm moving to an industry standard 100 point system.  Most people are familiar with this type of rating, and it gives me the most range to better gauge the wines quality & mass appeal.  So - there you have it...a new rating system.  Please check out the PA Wineries page of my site www.vinovic.com/PA_Wineries.html very soon for the conversion.  It will all be housed there.  I hope people better enjoy my ratings, AND, I pray I don't piss off too many producers. 

Finally, I have a HUGE project currently brewing.  I'm so excited to be working on this, and when I unveil it, you all are going to be like "Whaaaaat, oh, so cool!"
