NEW YORK TIMES ON BRUNELLO BAN

The New York Times featured an article on the Brunello upset in Italy. Wine journalist Eric Asimov calls news that the TTB has dropped its threat to block imports of brunello into the U.S. "a step forward, given that the laboratory analysis apparently takes a long time and the margin for error is great." Instead, the U.S. will accept certification from the Italian government that the wines comply with the rules.
