Robert Finnegan??

Bob Finnegan used to write Walnuts&Wines, a wine & restayrant review out of SanFrancisco, in the '70's. Then he moved back to the EastCoast (CN??) and I haven't heard much of him since. Ran into him once at a SFW&CFiesta event 10-15 yrs ago.
Anybody had any recent contact with him or know how he's doing?? Very likable guy and a knowledgeable wine writer in his day. I hope he's OK...or at least drinking well.

Finigan almost plummeted from the wine scene (at least outside California) after Arpy gained attention with his Bordeaux '82 reports. I'm not as certain as Wiki that this was the direct cause of Finigan's decline, but certainly after one last "all about wine" book published in the late '80s didn't make much of a splash, he disappeared. McCoy's rather positive recent book about Parker, "The Emperor of Wine," goes on at some length about this.

I had a classmate in the 2nd grade named Patrick Finnegan!

Nothing sinister; it's just highlighting the particular word searched for.

Oh. Never did a search so I never saw that before. It reminded me of the CENSORED that shows up on the Therapy site.
