Correction

In the December 2009 Book Forum, the review of "Au Revoir to All That: Food, Wine, and the End of France" contained a parenthetical statement that the book's author, Michael Steinberger, left the publication Wine Spectator "under a cloud," suggesting that his employment with the publication was terminated. In December 2002, Mr. Steinberger wrote an article for Slate about the Wine Spectator's annual Top 100 issue to which the Spectator's editor took exception, resulting in an exchange of letters published by Slate. Previously, Mr. Steinberger had contributed two articles to Wine Spectator but was never employed on its staff.
