Though not claiming to have invented it, senior editor Peter Liem was commended by
Eric Asimov for discovering the word "gob-less" as a term for wines of grace, balance and finesse, in response to the increasing trend among wine critics who frequently apply the word "gobs" to describe wines of overwhelming power and fruity sweetness.cite web|last= Asimov| first= Eric, "The New York Times - "The Pour"11 |title= Gobs of Pleasure?
