Two More New Reviewers
On behalf of Robert Parker and everyone at the Wine Advocate and eRobertParker.com, I'm pleased to announce the two newest members of our reviewer team: Monica Larner and Luis Gutiérrez.
Monica Larner will be responsible for reviewing the wines of Italy. An American and fluent Italian speaker currently based in Rome, Italy, Monica has been living on and off in Italy since age 11. Having grown up in a household that celebrated a deep appreciation for the culture of wine, she developed a love for wine from an early age. After high school in both Italy and California, Monica earned her undergraduate and graduate degrees in journalism from Boston University and New York University respectively. In 2003 she became Wine Enthusiast magazine's first Italian editor. Over the course of the next ten years, her tasting responsibilities grew to producing 3,000 Italian wine notes per year (totalling 16,000 published reviews overall). She set up a tasting bureau near the Colosseum in Rome and continued her intense travel to the far-flung wine zones of Italy. Her proudest achievement is the 185-page special collector's Wine Enthusiast "Wines of Italy" edition that showcases her decade-long body of work.
UBI MAIOR, MINOR CESSAT !
