Michael Steinberger

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael Steinberger is an American journalist based in New Jersey,[1] and the wine columnist of the internet magazine Slate. A highly rated writer, he has been described as "one of the greatest wine writers on the planet",[2] and to possess a "blessedly trustworthy voice and palate".[3]

Steinberger has also contributed to other publications such as The New York Times, New York Magazine and The World of Fine Wine.

Steinberger had articles published in Wine Spectator prior to the Slate article "Grape Rot: The New Wine Spectator's Distinct Aroma of Fishiness", which resulted in an outraged response by Wine Spectator executive editor Jacob Weisberg demanding a retraction of the article, while recommending that Slate "no longer accept Steinberger's unprofessional and potentially libelous contributions".[4]
