Pete Wells is not Afraid of Lee Campbell

In what I thought, as I read it, was going to be a 2 star review, Pete Wells Reviews Reynard, and notes:

"And yet Diner, circa 1998, could not have built a cellar of offbeat and affordable French wines as deep as the one Lee Campbell has built at Reynard, or found enough customers to drink them. Growing older does have compensations."

1 Star seems overly harsh.
 
It certainly reads like a two star review. Just goes to show why tasting notes are needed to supplement points (or, as most others here would have it, to replace points).
 
"One night, a server at Reynard said that the Mast Brothers had already been in. (“They sat at that table over there,” she said.) The Masts, two chocolate makers with Smith Brothers beards, may be more famous locally than the cast of “Girls.” I wondered whether any customers, on being informed that the elegantly composed layer cake is made with Mast Brothers chocolate, had ever asked, “Who?”

Perhaps our infatuation with Brooklyn hipsterism has peaked. While not having the energy to follow through, I'd be tempted to leave a place where the waiter informs, in hushed voice no doubt, that the Mast Bros have graced the place.
