I've never listened to a wine critic that I couldn't learn something from. Rather it's Parker, Gary V, Florida Jim, or David Bueker, I always pick up something new. I do enjoy Gary's show, but sometimes I think that he takes the showmanship element a bit too far. His discriptions sometimes seem forced; "eating cotton candy in a car stuck in traffic behind a garbage truck", or something similar. He's at his best when he's thoughful and unforced. I could see the image and hype overtaking the content if he is not careful. He needs a new spit bucket that has "It's about the wine!" written on it.
