The many folks who will ultimately review MacNeil’s newer version of The Wine Bible will also claim to have read it. Actually reviewing wines blind is honorable work, though far too humbling to pursue for a living. Which means that I am able to evaluate and criticize it completely objectively, much as wine critics claim to evaluate wine. Coincidentally, I haven’t received a review copy of Karen MacNeil’s soon to be released The Wine Bible 2nd Edition either. The publisher refused to send me a review copy. The Bible, capitalized, and usually qualified by the word “Holy,” as in “cow” and “shit,” is a book that, ashamedly, I’ve never read. As well as the leading Republican candidate for President. Television bibles teach us to worship Mammon, and Norman Lear. The only bibles I’ve ever read were television bibles, which are the keys to the characters and plotlines, written by the series’ creators, of individual television series.
