Eric Asimov does not fear Lee Campbell

[SFJoe]

Typically well-reasoned good sense from Asimov on the vexing question of puzzling wines on restaurant lists.

 

[SFJoe]

Lee sure is getting a lot of press. Can one get into Reynard these days?

 

[Florida Jim]

Agreed.
An esoteric list can be daunting but if the diner just speaks up, he or she may not only learn something but enjoy a bit of human interaction, too. I seldom go out to be alone.
Best, Jim

Eric's columns are always so sensible. How in the world did he get a newspaper job?

 

[Steve Edmunds]

To the column, and the comments!

 

[Mark Davis]

Once again Eric is right on target...

 

[SFJoe]

Note that Brother Levi has an interview with Lee in his series.

 

[Brian C]

Allemand, Clape, Lafarge, Huet, Drappier...thats some pretty obscure stuff. Can't expect even a wine writer to have heard of them.

 

[John McIlwain]

Some people try to review winelists
They get called assholes.
This never happened to Scribe
Eric As-I-Mov...

He could walk into your boîte
Somms could not resist his stare,
Eric Asimov never got called an asshole.
Not like you (Steve Cuozzo)
