Well, I don’t see that happening.  Not anytime soon.  But Oliver Thring does have an interesting article in The Guardian about American wine critic Tim Hanni’s stirring the proverbial wine world pot.  And the fuss is simple:  Is wine criticism necessary?  Helpful?  Hanni doesn’t necessarily think so.  And if what Hanni says is true, then a wine critic is just (as Thring puts it) “someone with a tongue and a thesaurus.”  Read the article here and then be sure to jump on over to the word of mouth blog to see what others are saying.
