More on "The Wine Trials"

Wow, things have really been heating up over at the NY Times wine blog, The Pour. I mentioned a few days ago having read Eric Asimov's post on a forthcoming book titled, "The Wine Trials," and it looks like lots of people had an opinion. There's close to 100 comments on the entry, not to mention the fact that he's now done three posts on the subject. The latter entries were prompted by a sea of email, including one from the author of the book. Turns out the two know each other, and Eric managed to get his hands on a preview copy of the book to re-assess his opinions. The results were overall more positive, and kind of interesting. This is the type of dialogue only possible on the internet, and I've really enjoyed watching it unfold. There's a link a few days ago for the original entry, and if you'd like to read The Pour's most recent take on things have a look here -
