For a long time it has been clear to me that a subscription to
The Wine Spectator is worthwhile if only because you get to read the the thoughtful wine writing of Matt Kramer, America’s wine conscience. Now Kramer has started an online wine column, Drinking out Loud, which is sure to be worth the price of admission. While I have had my issues with
The Wine Spectator, any publication willing to print Kramer’s insightful commentary on wine can’t be all bad.
