Vin de Napkin - The Soothsayer

I feel bad for Dan Berger.  The guy is cranking out darn near 4000 words and it appears that he’s not getting any editorial support whatsoever.

Paging an editor, please! 

I’m referencing this article at Appellation America.

I don’t mean to be mean-spirited, vindictive, or even hint at being anything other than pleasantly delicate.  That said, I had to take a drink in order to see if the following paragraph would become clearer to me, Papa Hemingway style:

This kind of wine is part of the Third Wave that is making an end run around the scorers, avoiding being placed into a numerical box from which it’s nearly impossible to escape. True, some of the wines might be mainstream enough to be rated, but most wine makers who make such wines do not want to risk being at the mercy of palates ill-equipped to make appropriate decisions that can have a life-or-death sort of aftertaste.
