NYTimes: Italian Winemakers' Cult

by TomHill » Tue Oct 25, 2016 10:14 am

In today's NYTimes:
NYTimes:ItalianWinemakers

This is one of the most trite/cliche-filled wine articles on biodynamics I have ever seen.
“I can’t drink conventional wine,” Gabriele de Prato told me. “I can taste the chemicals. I can taste the temperature control. A conventional wine tastes dead.”

It probably even made SweetAlice gag when she read it. The author obviously knows little about wine and bought the biodynamics story line hook/line&sinker. Definitely not up to the NYTimes standard for wine articles, or travel articles, either.

The author, Danielle Pergament, is the Executive Editore for Allure magazine. Not one I'd ever read nor am likely to.

Don't waste time reading this article unless you want a (not even good) laugh.

Allure Magazine?

At least she doesn't write for SELF Magazine.

After the horrors of Las Vegas, I honestly think modern "women's magazines" represent a nadir of American culture. :lol:
