George M. Taber

George M. Taber

Journalist and entrepreneur George M. Taber was a reporter and editor with "Time" magazine in the United States and Europe for 21 years, working in Brussels, Bonn, Houston, Washington, DC, and New York. Stationed in Paris between 1973 and 1976, he reported extensively on French wine and cooking, including a "Time" cover story on chef Michel Guerard and his "nouvelle cuisine".

It was during that period that he reported on the Judgment of Paris where California wines were ranked alongside France’s best, an event that revolutionized the world of wine. His four-paragraph story about the tasting has been called “the most significant news story ever written about wine”. [Gray, W. Blake. [http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/06/16/WIGFFD8K231.DTL The story behind the story that made wine history.] "San Francisco Chronicle", June 16 2005.] In 2005, Taber wrote a well-researched book on the event, with the goal of "setting the record straight." [Ashenfelter, Orley. Review of Taber's book at [http://www.liquidasset.com/taber.htm Liquid Assets] . Retrieved 19 July 2009.]

Taber began his own business newspaper in 1988 and interviewed and wrote about the presidents of both the United States and France.
