Pinot envy, riesling lust and a ratings rant
We highlight the best today, starting with the Charlotte Observer’s ode to pinot noir, and move deftly to the New York Times’ eloquent tribute to German riesling. And last but certainly not least, over on Wine Sediments, some nut case named Mark Fisher questions the whole basis behind wine ratings of mass-produced wines, and wonders: “What guarantee does a reader have that a wine he or she buys halfway across the country is in any way similar to the identically labeled bottle someone else just drank and raved about? And if it IS identical, do we even want to know how that happened?”
It’s a fun little read, if I do say — I mean, if he does say so himself.
Cheers!
Mark Fisher
