I'm not sure why I feel the need to mention this…
But I've become a fan of the sweet wines of Sauternes.

Funny stuff here. I did a search at the Wine Spectator site for wines that scored under 70. Under 70 basically means awful. They don't do it very often, only 85 wines got that exalted rank out of the 10,000+ they have in their database. Check some of the descriptions that they use in the tasting notes. Even if you don't like wine seeing a wine described thusly, "Smells and tastes of burnt rubber, sulfur and rot–it has serious flaws. Dry, lean and disgusting" or "smells like a swamp and tastes of acid juice" is pretty funny. Especially compared the occasionally exuberant descriptions they give wines they like.
Okay, Greg Norman may never win a major on American soil, but he makes some damn fine wine. Let's see that Tiger Woods make an age-worthy Shiraz for under twenty bucks. Go shark.
