Tom at Fermentation links to the San Francisco Chronicle which has switched to using a star-based system for their wine review systems. I have considered doing the same thing on this blog.

I don't know that my palette is refined enough to support the preciseness of a 100 point scale, which is why all of my reviews are rounded to the nearest five, essentially making my rating system a 20 point scale. Even that might be too much.

Going forward I may switch to a system like this, something that, while less precise, provides a more approachable rating system to both readers and myself.
