For those scoring at home, David Schildknecht has resigned from the Wine Advocate effective 7/1/15.

Missing David's writing was my one regret about not subscribing, so now my conscience is clear.
 
STEPHAN'S BIO

Born in Germany, Reinhardt established a world-wide reputation as a leading wine reviewer. Most recently, he penned The Finest Wines of Germany, which was quickly shortlisted as "Best International Wine Book of Year" by the Louis Roederer International Wine Wrtiers' Award. He also co-authored Wein spricht deutsch, a 720-page monster book on the wines of Germany, Austria, Alsace, Alto Adige and Switzerland. Reinhardt was editor-in-chief of Vinum, a 10-issue magazine distributed in Zurich/Switzerland, Germany, and Austria, and Weinwisser, a Swiss/German wine newsletter. He's written stories for a number of publications, including The World of Fine Wine; numerous German daily newspapers; and lifestyle magazines including Der Feinschmecker, Falstaff and Fine - das Weinmagazin. His wine-writing career began when he translated Oz Clarke's Wine Encyclopedia while studying and teaching theatre science at Munich University and selling wine in the evenings at a local wine shop. Reinhardt is passionate about Riesling, Port and Pinot Noir, loves music (especially jazz), travel and soccer. He lives with his family near Hamburg, Germany.

I hope that David finds a way to make a living writing about wine. He's a very important figure in the history wine in America.
 
Hmm. David and i just exchanged emails a couple of days ago. No mention of this. He was advising me that he would not be in burgundy while i am there. Which will be tomorrow!!!
