One of the world’s great wine commentators must surely be Ch’ng Poh Tiong. Whatever the subject matter he scribes, I find myself unable to put the paper down till the point that his writing concludes. Inevitably these end in a little, rather sharp, twist. I found it therefore once again compelling reading, to delve into his feature on ‘The Wine Suffocate’, an update on the Robert Parker sale of a crucial part of his ‘Wine Advocate’ business, to Eastern interests. The content is, you may conclude, rather off-putting. I have copied this article below and give of course full credit to Fine Wine Magazine and to the author himself. It’s a demonstration of great investigative journalism. The surprise would be mine if you pour a glass of anything at all before reaching the end of the short article.
