Filed under: Etc. We've known for two months this day was coming , yet it's still something of a shock. Robert Farago, the one man wrecking crew of an editor-in-chief over at The Truth About Cars, has hung up his gloves . Why a shock? Love him or loathe him, Farago has been a mega-influence in the autoblogosphere (and, in auto journalism as a whole, it must be said) for nearly a decade. In many ways...

Petrus, Romanee-Conti, Chateau d'Yquem -- wines coveted by connoisseurs, and targeted by counterfeiters. According to French wine professionals, a handful of rare and fine wines face the same threat from fraud as luxury handbags and designer sunglasses. Trafficking in fake wine has "always existed a little, but it's definitely amplified with the rising prices of fine wines", said Sylvain...

Here is your bit of foreign wine news, from the international country of France: the French like wine. They’re also governed by millions of strange laws, laws that allow them to protest protesting, being fired, and other privileged things. There is a special wine, Beaujolais Nouveau, and, according to said strange French laws, new batches [...] Beaujolais Nouveau - FrenchWine - Beaujolais - France...

They’re just like us! In France, a decade ago a wine researcher named Fréderic Brochet served 57 French wine experts two identical midrange Bordeaux wines, one in an expensive Grand Cru bottle, the other accommodated in the bottle of a cheap table wine. The gurus showed a significant preference for the Grand Cru bottle, employing adjectives [...]

Chad writes by email: I've been meaning to ask you for a while about the way that imports impact GDP. If Americans stop buying as much stuff at Wal-mart, imports go down which means GDP looks better. But few would take that as a positive sign. That question is a principles question. If I import a bottle of French wine to drink (say, some of that nice Beaujolais Nouveau coming in next week), it increases...

While traveling in France, one name came up repeatedly: Robert Parker. I haven't figured out if the French love him for bringing fame and fortune to their world of wine, or hate him for causing French wine to be crafted to fit his palate. One thing is for sure, Parker is the root cause behind too much wood in wine. By that, I mean that Parker's desire for new oak fueled the "overoaked" wine...

A new system of EU wide regulation aims to end the overproduction of wines, and to redirect spending towards making the European wine market more competitive. As part of the plan the EU is hoping to take around 175,000 hectares of uncompetitive vineyards out of the market

French wine growers are protesting against EU plans to permit the blending of white and red grapes to produce rose wines. The proposal has emerged as part of a package of measures from the EU Commission aimed at assisting the European wine industry with an assault on world markets. When the issue was considered by the EU in January, it received the support of the French government who clearly did not
