Bored at Work: Wines & the NYTimes

[Thomas]

Bucko, this panel truly does not rate the wine; Prial just tells us what the group thought of the wines, individually, and collectively. It is an ok column, filled with lots of information about the wines in question.

My real beef with this column is Ms. Hesser's food and wine brief that follows, and I wrote an email to Prial about it. She often begins her little food-wine piece with an introductory paragraph that sometimes makes me wince; too many blanket inanities (not to mention just plain bad wine information) inherent in her attempt to warm up the reader to her advice.
