A
hearty welcome to the New York Times for joining in the mainstream wine blogging scene.
Highly regarded journalist Eric Asimov has launched the Pour http://thepour.blogs.nytimes.com/ As Vinography points out it is not the first wine journalist to launch a blog (that honour goes to Mark Fisher of the Dayton Daily News) and there are sure to be more over the coming months.
Asimov maintains he is to avoid wine tasting notes like 'avian flu' but still kicks off his writings with a piece on a ten year old Rioja rosé described as "a sort of pale coppery orange, is bone dry and unusually complex, with a captivating texture that compels you to take another sip".
