Washington Post Wine Critic Kinda-Sorta Likes Norton

by · August 27, 2012

Being a coastal wine critic means that you can’t like any wine that the wine critic herd has not already approved.  So it’s encouraging that Washington Post critic Dave McIntyre comes within a hair’s breadth of saying he likes Norton.   His delicate use of language to go slightly out on a limb is impressive,  but he is from our nation’s capital where saying nothing while saying something is an art form.  See: http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/food/less-acidity-more-interest-in-nortons/2012/08/25/bedbbdd0-ec98-11e1-9ddc-340d5efb1e9c_story.html
