LENNDEVOURS in the New York Times
The New York Times is probably the newspaper in the U.S… if not the world, so you can imagine my surprise and happiness over seeing this blog mentioned in its pages earlier this week (just saw it online this morning).
Howard Goldberg, writer of the every-other-week column "Long Island Vines" recommends LENNDEVOURS as one of the websites people should use to check in on Long Island wine country, saying:
published by Lenn Thompson, whose day job is in Internet marketing. It
is reached at www.lennthompson.typepad.com.
Mr. Thompson has a good palate; his tasting notes are usually on
target. Though clearly a cheerleader for local wines, he doesn’t
hesitate to criticize."
Over the years, Mr. Goldberg and I haven't always seen eye to eye — on particular wines, on the role of blogging in the larger wine discourse, and a variety of other issues really — but I'm honored to be included in this column.
Other websites mentioned include my friend Eileen's blog, Cellarette and the official sites for the Long Island Wine Council and New York Wine and Grape Foundation.
Thanks for the mention, Howard.
Congrats! And I agree with his statements BTW.
very cool bro. Next WBC you need to put on that cheerleader uniform though!
Hooray! Well deserved.
That’s awesome.
Congrats my friend! We should all be so lucky! But, for you, it is well deserved and keep up the good work. I always look forward to your entries.
Lenn’s coming…. watch out Parker! Keep up the good work. Val
Congrats! Way to be a great advocate of NY wines!
Nice write up for you, Lenn. And well-deserved. I wonder if the Times’ Quebec wine correspondent will do the same with me.
The LI winemakers are fortunate to have you around.
Congratulations! You should have gotten a mention long ago!
