@puzzmotoday What has happened to the keyboard’s third line in the daily crossword? Haven’t seen it in weeks.

@jbonne @TRidesmith Haven’t seen this level of snottiness for a while

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 (h/t @TRidesmith) cnbc.com/2023/02/14/som…

@boozecolumnist Or, as we say in my tribe, a shanda

@harveywine It’s an “infraction”? Ha. Ok

Head of a big drinks PR firm, w brand & region clients, just told me his firm pays $25k/year to an influential wine magazine. I asked why; he said “to ensure our clients’ wines are reviewed” & “poorly reviewed wines aren’t listed”-in case anyone wonders how wine criticism goes

@boozecolumnist As fur my feelings about publishers topping off scores, I agree. I’d throw a flag on that infraction.

@harveywine Right here. You were so adamant about naming culprits and insisting this was all just "talking shit." I to make sure you read the followup. How do you feel about publishers topping off critics' scores after the fact? Or about industry paying for previews?

@boozecolumnist Commit. Damn autocorrect

@boozecolumnist Hat-tip for exposing your personal experience with Vinous (although a response from Galloni seems to be missing). By saying they all do it, aren’t you also tarring those do not commuting such sins?

@PellinenPetri @boozecolumnist No NDA. I have nothing to hide.

@harveywine @boozecolumnist You no not have a NDA concerning the old publication?

@boozecolumnist I notice you didn’t complain about horseshit wine writing when I praised Godforsaken Grapes.

@boozecolumnist Who’s being imperious now? I’ve had enough of your insults.

@boozecolumnist Correction: to AVOID spreading misinformation

@harveywine Maybe your old magazine hasn’t kept with the times and is hemorrhaging readers and has decided to stop the bleeding by taking $$ from the other side. It happens.

@boozecolumnist Now you’re just making up stuff. I was taught to check facts before spreading misinformation.

@boozecolumnist In what world

@harveywine People only talk shit when it’s true.

@boozecolumnist People talk shit. Stop insulting me.

@harveywine Well I have people on record who say you’re full of shit

@boozecolumnist I was walking my daughter’s dog and doing some errands. Just responded to your post Re allegations. They’re not true. In my tenure I was never told which wines to review or not.

@harveywine Yez? No? Did I address your problem? Or were you just imperiously weighing in?

@boozecolumnist Allegation not true. Tasting slots for all regions were limited so tasters could devote proper attention to the wines. Still reviewed north of 18K per year. There was never any quid pro quo with marketing boards.

@harveywine Ok, how about your former magazine capping the number of a certain country’s wines they review because their marketing board doesn’t advertise? That’s allegation I heard. Is it true or not?

@twohandswine That was special. Still vibrant and elegant.

Not often you get to drink a perfect example of a superb aged Burgundy, but I am glad the legend was well and truly home tonight MT

@jebdunnuck @twohandswine Such a showoff

@twohandswine Slumming as usual 😂

Bloody good Thursday night vinos MT

This was a fun project, exploring what makes one of today’s Australian wine icons what it is. Lots of inside stuff for wine freaks. twohandswines.com/our-story/podc…
