It doesn’t appear to have undergone serious proofreading. I have one major criticism of the book which seems to come up more and more in wine books. Finally, he has a thorough review of the laws surrounding Champagne. That is key to understanding any wine critic. He also reviews some very common and available wines, which is helpful to get a handle on his tastes and preferences. Curtis includes many of his own tasting notes on wines that only a few people will ever have the opportunity to taste. For a wine geek, that is a fascinating read. The second part of the book reviews vintages back to 1899. Save up to $150 in tastings per Day! It’s good for the year at 250 California wineries.

And you would have to cater to an average attention span approximately the breadth of a gnat’s ass, channeling content at a literacy level no higher than a junior high equivalence. Rob, if you were to set your mind to prioritizing channel growth over all else, you would have to dumb things down severely, elevating form and style over function and substance, flash and sizzle over information and perspective. One of the sad realities of living in a 24/7/365 idiocracy is the inverse correlatedness between artistic viability and commercial viability.
