Alice Feiring is an American journalist and author, for several years a wine and travel columnist for ''Time'' magazine, and known as an advocate for "natural wine". In addition to contributions to publications such as ''The New York Times'', ''New York Magazine'', ''San Francisco Chronicle'', ''LA Times'', ''Condé Nast Traveler'' and ''Forbes Traveler'', her blog "The Feiring Line" (formerly: "Veritas in Vino") has been rated among America's leading wine blogs, and her voice described by Mike Steinberger as part of a new wave of "real flowering of high-quality wine journalism". In 2011, Feiring was selected as "Online Wine Writer of the Year" by the Louis Roederer International Wine Writer Awards.〔Louis Roederer International Wine Writer Awards (Winners 2011 )〕 Her first book, published in May 2008,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Nonfiction Reviews: The Battle for Wine and Love: Or, How I Saved the World from Parkerization )〕 ''The Battle for Wine and Love: Or How I Saved the World from Parkerization'', described as "an opinionated look at the fight to preserve authenticity and diversity in wine",〔 due to its perceived "declaration of war" against critic Robert Parker found some controversy well before its date of release. Reviewing the book, Eric Asimov later wrote, "Ms. Feiring is an uncompromising judge of wine and people who can no more stomach a lover’s preference for a wine she abhors than she can the presence of a microwave in her kitchen." Feiring's critical statements against California wine as "overblown, over-alcoholed, over-oaked, overpriced and over-manipulated" have also sparked controversy.〔Mackay, Jordan, ''Chow'' (June 11, 2008). (California Terroir: Wines that taste like they’re from somewhere )〕 An article Feiring wrote for ''The Upgrader'' on Men.Style.com, online site of ''GQ'' and ''Details'', titled "The Ten Most Overrated Wines in the World", which listed Bordeaux Garagistes, Australian Shiraz, Marlborough Sauvignon blanc, Super-Tuscans, Clos de Vougeot, Long Island wine, Albariño, Screaming Eagle, Sea Smoke Pinot noir and Chilean Cabernet,〔Feiring, Alice, ''GQ'' (November 14, 2007).
