Vin de Napkin - A Bad Month for Robert Parker

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.
