Re: Parker verkauft Wine Advocate
das gibt den neuen Verantwortlichen die Chance, endlich die sinnlose 100-Punkte-Grenze zu beseitigen. Denn nur wenn der neue Jahrgang ein paar Punkte mehr als der letzte hat, lässt er sich so richtig gut verkaufen.Dann hat es ja bald ein Ende mit den Parkerpunkten
Die nächsten Topweine bekommen dann so 102-103 Punkte auf der nach oben offenen PP- (Post-Parker) Skala ...
Grüße,
Gerald

Re: Parker verkauft Wine Advocate
Hallo zusammen,
er verkostet weiterhin Bordeaux und Rhone...alles andere hatte er ja eh schon abgegeben.
Das von vielen prognostizierte Ende der PP sehe ich nicht...im Gegenteil...ich denke es wird in Zukunft präsenter und breiter gestreut sein, wie bisher.
Aktuell ist doch nur Frankreich (hauptsächlich Bordeaux und Südfrankreich), USA, Italien und Spanien im Fokus gewesen. Mal abgesehen von den Top 100 Icon Weinen weltweit, die natürlich auch immer bewertet wurden.
Interessant finde ich dagegen, die Bestzung der neuen Chefredakteurin...da hätte ich auf jemand anderen getippt....aber da hat wohl die Nähe zu Fernost eine größere Rolle gespielt

Etwa auf ein Comeback von Jay Miller?dyingromeo hat geschrieben:Interessant finde ich dagegen, die Bestzung der neuen Chefredakteurin...da hätte ich auf jemand anderen getippt....

Ich war ja noch nie Abonnent von erobertparker und werde auch zukünftig kein Abonnent werden. Die Weine, die Bob so testet, interessieren mich allenfalls zweitrangig (Bordeaux) bzw. sogar noch weniger (südliche Rhône, USA, Icon-Weine). Der ein oder andere Bericht von David Schildknecht (z.B. über das Jura) hätte mich schon interessiert, aber am Ende doch nicht genug, um Abonnent zu werden. Meine Vermutung ist nach Lektüre des Reuters Blog Artikels, dass der Wine Advocate zukünftig ein deutlich kommerzielleres Randprogramm bekommen wird. Ich wage die Prognose, dass der Wine Advocate in Europa an Bedeutung verlieren und in Asien und vielleicht Südamerika an Bedeutung gewinnen wird.
Beste Grüße, Stephan
Re: Parker verkauft Wine Advocate
Die Nachricht stimmt so nicht ganz. Richtig ist, dass sich Parker (weitere) Investoren ins Boot geholt hat. Er ist weiterhin Teilhaber und CEO. Hierzu ein Teil seines Statements im Parker-Forum:
7. While rumors about me retiring have circulated for years, nothing could be further from the truth. I am still in this profession for the long-term as I remain the CEO and Chairman of the TWA board, and an owner. Moreover, I will continue to comprehensively cover Bordeaux, the Rhone, retrospectives on California vintages, and profiles of under $25 wine bargains from our finest importers.
Grüße
Hartmut

Re: Parker verkauft Wine Advocate
Vielsagender finde ich allerdings die Käufergruppe, die ja wohl ungefähr so weinaffin ist wie eine niedersächsische Raiffeisenbank; eine Gruppe aus dem Finanz- und IT-Sektor. Das bedeutet doch nichts anderes als den Umbau zur Marke "Robert Parker". Mit Robert als Aufsichtsratsvorsitzendem, also quasi dem Frühstücksdirektor.
Nun, dann ist der Weg ja frei, für eine heterogene Weinkritik.

Re: Parker verkauft Wine Advocate
Mark Squires Bulletin Board :
Dear Subscribers,
I am especially excited to share the following news with all of you. In 2001, I asked Wine Technologies to join TWA team as a partner and an investor as we developed the eRobertParker.com site that has been such a huge success. Yet, despite the success of our joint effort over more than a decade, it is important that we look ahead including adapting to the latest technology/platforms and providing enhanced applications for our readers. I have again taken on some investors, three 30-early 40ish highly qualified business and technology people and enthusiastic wine lovers as well as long time subscribers. They are totally independent of the wine industry and have a very global vision that is essential in today's world.
Some of the changes we are considering for 2013 are:
1. Further expansion of our coverage in all of the world's wine producing regions and much more efficient delivery of that information to you.
2. Many new features including new applications, more videos, a PDF of TWA for electronic subscribers, virtual tastings, and a new program called Icon Wines - all designed to take advantage of a state of the art technology platform and rapid fire response site for subscribers.
3. We will be offering wine education conferences with plans to tour a range of cities around the world.
4. While our office in Monkton, Maryland continues to remain "THE HEADQUARTERS" we intend to open another office in Singapore where the investors reside and from where we can more easily serve Asian countries.
5. Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, who also resides in Singapore, will manage the office and become our editor-in-chief, assuming all responsibilities for coordinating TWA content, editing and proof-reading, things that I have found enormously time-consuming and am thrilled to transfer so I can focus on what I love most, bringing you the world's best coverage of great wines, no matter what their price.
6. While we would love to add a few additional writers, especially to deepen the coverage of emerging wine regions such as China, etc. we plan that our current writers will continue to do what they have been doing. We simply want to deliver that information using the fastest and most professional methods that modern technology permits.
7. While rumors about me retiring have circulated for years, nothing could be further from the truth. I am still in this profession for the long-term as I remain the CEO and Chairman of the TWA board, and an owner. Moreover, I will continue to comprehensively cover Bordeaux, the Rhone, retrospectives on California vintages, and profiles of under $25 wine bargains from our finest importers.
From the ancient beginning days of TWA, back in 1978, when the publication was a simple 8-10 page rough-hewn document, my vision and goal was to create a body of wine knowledge that exceeded anything the world had ever seen. I never dreamed that the internet and the technology revolution would be such a welcome catalyst to expedite achieving my goals. I also never dreamed TWA would sweep across the civilized world with an impact that was beyond my wildest dreams. The dream, the vision, the commitment to wine consumers for fair and independent content continues. I wish I were 25 years younger as I feel so excited about the new investor team and what we can accomplish together.
It is impossible not to thank all of you. To live the life of your dreams is a rare privilege. I can never take it for granted, and do realize how fate and fortune have shone brightly on me. I am profoundly touched by the faith and confidence all of you have bestowed on me and our team. Just saying thank you is woefully inadequate....but nonetheless....thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul.
