April Fool’s 2021 wine post

The April Fool’s wine post is a hallowed blog tradition

I want to dedicate this year’s re-posting of the blog’s April Fool’s posts to my long-time pal, wine raconteur, and really sharp guy, Billy Tisherman. Tish, as he is known, was the impetus for the first post in 2013, part of a cross-posting of April 1 spoofs and satires from wine writers across the country.

So enjoy, Tish. This one’s for you.

Here are the six April Fool’s wine posts, which remain sadly relevant despite their age.

The blog’s April Fool’s wine posts:
• Wine Curmudgeon will sell blog to Wine Spectator
• Big Wine to become one company
• Wine Spectator: If you can’t buy it, we won’t review it
• Supreme Court: Regulate wine writing through three-tier system
• Gov. Perry to California: Bring your wineries to Texas
• California secedes from U.S. — becomes its own wine country
