WSJ wine column ends

John Brecher and Dorothy Gaiter, who wrote a wine column called “Tastings” for the past 12 years in The Wall Street Journal, have ended their column.

The last column, which appeared this weekend, doesn’t say if the column will continue under another writer.

Dow Jones spokesman Robert Christie, in an e-mail, stated, “We will announce our plans after the first of the year.”

Gaiter was a national reporter and editor covering issues of race for the Journal from 1990 to 2000. Brecher was page one editor of the Journal from 1992 to 2000. They began writing “Tastings” in 1998 and became full-time wine columnists in 2000.

They also are the authors of four books on wine, including “Wine for Every Day and Every Occasion.” They have appeared extensively on television shows including Martha Stewart Living, CBS Sunday and Today and on radio shows including “Fresh Air” with Terry Gross.

BusinessWeek ended its wine column by Robert Parker at the end of 2008.
