Story.
To summarize the story, a man named Robin Goldstein set up a fictitious restaurant in Italy, created a website for the restaurant, and set up a wine list for the restaurant, using Wine Spectator's own lowest-rated Italian wines to stock the wine list. Goldstein then sent in the $250 "fee" to be considered for an award, which was duly given.
Wine Spectator's version of the story can be found here. They say that they made an honest effort to check the bona fides of the restaurant before issuing the award.
Oooookay.
