An objective rating system has its faults and traits – but I think overall it can help the reader’s experience on the site. I have a pretty agreeable or simple palate. Its really hard for me to not like something that I put in my mouth. But I know I have to learn to be able to appreciate and distinguish subtle flavors. Please keep in mind, that some places that I write about may not get ratings at all.
