Avoid elitism.

This blog post provides an excellent summary of why I canceled my subscription to Wine Spectator:

The one thing I can come up with, at least from my California point of view, is that there’s a body of opinion in this State that Wine Spectator is arrogant. This isn’t to say that the magazine’s personalities in California aren’t nice people. It’s just a perception that Wine Spectator has been a little too elitist, too hilfalutin for its own good.


Scroll down in the same post for a reply from Wine Spectator (which I think was focused more at the issue of the Restaurant Reviews than the charge of elitist).
