You have to search more doggedly for my byline on this piece (NYMAG, January 16th issue) than you will have to for these wines, but that's ok. It was almost equally difficult to convince my editor that I needed to choose all French wines as the recos. He wanted to know why we couldn't have some nice, juicy New World wines in there. I reminded him that he asked for wines, not beverages, and he wanted wines that tasted way better than their price--under ten dollars. For the present, it's France or bust.

I'm hunting the Leon Trotskys, the Philip Roths, the Chaucers and the Edith Whartons of the wine world. I want them natural and most of all, I want them to speak the truth even if we argue. With this messiah thing going on, I'm trying to swell the ranks of those who crave the differences in each vintage, celebrate nuance and desire wines that make them think, laugh, and feel. Welcome.
And, if you'd like a signed copy of either THE BATTLE FOR WINE AND LOVE OR HOW I SAVED THE WORLD FROM PARKERIZATION or NAKED WINE, feel free to contact me directly.
