I've always regarded Elin McCoy as a pretty formulaic wine writer. I seldom learn much from her screed and find them rather quotidian ("It's November...time for an article on Beaujolais and what to drink w/ Thanksgiving turkey").
But her recent article in TheWorld of FineWine on "Romancing the Grape: The Origins of the Natural Wine Movement" was particularly good & informative. Nothing earth-shattering, but interesting and written pretty objectively & w/o the vitriolic polemics w/ which SweetAlice writes.
