About wine judges

In a Contra Costa Times article about the new generation of wine judges a Forestville person was quoted:
"They (the judges) seemed to be looking for juicy, thirst-quenching examples," says Burrows, who works for Forestville's Farmhouse Inn and consults at Boot & Shoe Service in Oakland, where he lives. Burrows, 35, started judging in his mid-20s at the Concours Generale d'Agriculture wine competition in Paris.
"Millennials are risk takers who understand that without trying something new by experimenting and listening to advice, we will always be drinking the same overpriced, 94-point cabernet sauvignon from Napa Valley," he says.
