Mike Needs made his debut today as the Beacon Journal’s new wine columnist in the last column of page E1 just above the QUICK & EASY recipe for wasabi-crusted salmon.
The headline for his first column:
New columnist,
a familiar face,
sips cheap wine
Denies being a snob;
drinks vino with a sub
Needs chose Crane Lake Shiraz, $3.99 at Acme, for his first treatise. He admits he knows nothing about wine, is not a connoisseur and asks readers to join him in learning more.
Needs resigned as design editor voluntarily during the layoff debacle at the BJ. He was public editor before that.

Today is the feast day of St. Francis de Sales, patron saint of journalists. Maybe he can help;
MOSS : Mr. Needs, do you know anything about wine?
NEEDS: No, but I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
MOSS: Close enough for the BJ, when can you start ?
Praise jeebus that we still have professionals like Connie Shultz to slow down the de-evolution of journalism in NE Ohio.
