in Wine Spectator Scamers or Scammed? on Another Wine Blog
Thanks for giving Wine Spectator a fair hearing. Yes, we will be more vigilant in the future. But our goals are to encourage restaurants to improve their wine programs, and point wine lovers to restaurants that offer good wine lists. Despite the scam, we think the program is achieving those goals, and we'll keep on with it.

jpower Hi Thomas,

Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment...and you're welcome. Everyone wants to take down the big guy, and if Wine Spectator isn't the biggest guy on the block, it is certainly close. One of the best ways for a blog to get noticed and drive up traffic is to generate controversy, but it really doesn't seem right that a very good publication has to have their name dragged through the mud so that someone else can try and get publicity.

I will continue to read and trust Wine Spectator as usual.
