Marvin Shanken looks back at 20 years of Wine Spectator

Article Abstract:

Shanken bought the Wine Spectator in 1979 because it was on the verge of folding and he could not bear to see the magazine die. He changed the format to include more articles on wines produced in areas of the world other than California, and he hired full-time professional journalists.
