"While not alarmist the book raises provocative questions: Are scientists becoming technicians rather than critical thinkers? Are contemporary researchers so averse to ‘failing’ that they won’t question established dogma?" Foreword Reviews on INSIDE SCIENCE CSHLPress Benjamin Lewin MW

“Persuasive and thought-provoking, Benjamin Lewin’s INSIDE SCIENCE examines how big data is changing biological research...Brilliant analysis...A clarion call.” Foreword Reviews on Benjamin Lewin MW's book, due from CSHLPress on 9/12.

I discuss the trials and tribulations of recent extreme vintage variation in Burgundy: winespecific.com/2023/07/25/bur…

I ask whether climate change means the grape varieties of Burgundy need to change: winespecific.com/2023/07/31/is-…

LVMH does not make its huge profits by standing by its products. It bought Clos des Lambrays in 2014 and I am sad owner of premoxed Lambrays Puligny Caillerets 2015. Requests for refund to UK distributor go unanswered.. Big contrast with other producers #LVMH #Lambrays

Great wine merchants and not so great: Majestic – questionable bottle of Bollinger rosé – replacement given, no questions asked Wine Society – flawed bottles of Puligny – refund made, no questions asked Flint Wines (LVMH) – Lambrays Caillerets premoxed – no response

Premox is not over. Domaine des Lambrays Puligny Caillerets 2015: 1 bottle brilliant, rich but not mineral, 1 on edge of oxidation, 1 still just drinkable, 1 opens well and oxidizes to undrinkable in the glass! Caveat LVMH. Came from Flint Wines, London
