Another point though, there are PLENTY of CRAP JOURNALIST IN MAIN STREAM MEDIA! Why are they never called out? Every small town in america has a "wine writer/food and wine writer" and while they probably have the same circulation numbers as blogs, they never get called out for their insane ramblings and incorrect wine knowledge. Hell, in the end the "cream" rises, and crap journalist never make it to the big time, and crap bloggers, never get read...no one has time to bother!
That said I disagree with many top bloggers opinions, they get read because they are smart, but differ in opinion with other people. I disagree with them not because they are bloggers, but because they hold views I disagree with. Parker would do himself good, by saying I disagree with X_person, rather than malign a whole category of publishers.
my two cents

The mess part is finding out where to go, what's open, and who to talk to. If your not in the BIZ, it can be hard. Fortunately Charles Metcalf's new book is a great way to start exploring. http://www.catavino.net/portugal/book-review-the-...

Tio Pepe (GB) does a great job and so do places like Dinastia Vivanco, Torres, and Abadia Retuerta(our client), though these are the exceptions not the rule.
