The Wine Knows

I just completed my article on Northwest Riesling (ah, the thrill of deadline!). For a variety of reasons, I chose to use Google Docs to write it.

A cool little tool in Google Docs is a word counter that also includes reading levels. According to this, I've written to a seventh-grade level. That makes sense since newspaper journalists tend to target about seventh- or eighth-grade reading levels.

I seriously doubt a seventh-grader would ever want to read about how a Riesling shows off aromas of river rock and Braeburn apples and flavors of ripe peaches with 2.3% residual sugar and a pH of 3.01.

Just my guess.
