Wine Spectator awards honors to fake
By Lou Grant | Aug 22, 10:54 AM
A nod of the head to Robin Goldstein. Goldstein submitted an
application to the Wine Spectator for a
restaurant that didn't exist, paying the $250 entry fee and
submitting a wine list of second-rate wines and a mix of
dishes.
The restaurant was given the "Award of Excellence" by Wine
Spectator. You can read all about it in
Goldstein's blog. It immediately raised questions in my mind
about local restaurant guides and their awards.
