Loyal vintners and vintresses,
It is necessary to call your attention to the current state of the
regression leaderboard: Rémi Bernon is up to 20 regressions.[1]
In an email dated 14 November 2024, our esteemed Principal Oenologist,
Alexandre Julliard, stated:[2]
> As with the regressions page, the goal should be to *not* be number one on the list.
The plain meaning is that being Sommelier-in-Chief is a thankless job
that no one in their right mind should aspire to. Nonetheless, it is
an indisputable fact that Rémi's Julliard Rank is now 33% higher than
Julliard himself.[3] (Before the Wine 10.0 code freeze Elizabeth
Figura was the heir presumptive,[4] but her rising star has since
fallen to third place.) Rémi has far and away proved his greater
worthiness. Therefore, by law and custom, Alexandre must step down and
make room for a new leader.
A coronation will be held at the next WineConf, with light
refreshments following.
Sincerely,
The High Council of the International Monarchist League
