More wine social commentary on the back of a napkin ...
Um, yeah, to say Robert Parker is having a bad stretch would be an understatement. He stirred up a hornets nest of ire by disparaging wine bloggers categorically. A blogger broke a story on some alleged discrepancies in his ethical policy and those of this writers, a story that eventually hit the Wall Street Journal, he lost the top spot in the Decanter “Power List” and, finally, he’s going to trial for defamation of a former colleague.
Perhaps not ironically, the tsunami of apologists coming forward to defend him seem to number, ahem, a small number relative to those waiting for his comeuppance.

Your cartooning is starting to take on a life of its own, and I just love it.

That looks like a really bad month for RP.
Some of his reactions in the past months have been textbook “what not to do” responses.
I do find it funny though that the news is RP slips to #2 and not that Constellation shoots to #1
