AN APPRECIATION
I had a couple things cued up to run this week, but both can wait. Maybe I’ll get to them in a few days.
Today I need to write about the passing of Howard G. Goldberg – the “G” (“for Gerson”) was important to him – which I heard about just yesterday.
Howard was the New York Times wine columnist for many years, and he was the man who “discovered” me, in a column from July 15, 1987. The precursor to the modern organization
Wines Of Germany had staged a tasting of the 1986 vintage in NYC, to which I sent a lot of samples. Howard noticed that most of his favorite wines had my name on them, and he reached out to me.
