Wine Spectator articles utilized the 100 point wine rating system, which made buying fine bottles much more approachable for the general audience.

Shanken also founded the magazine Cigar Aficionado and purchased Food Arts and Malt Advocate, which was renamed Whisky Advocate. Other publications he founded through his M.

Shanken Communications include Market Watch and Shanken News Daily. “He helped educate millions of Americans on the joys and virtues of wine, and tirelessly encouraged and pushed winemakers to produce the best for their customers,” Wine Spectator wrote in its obituary .

Among his many milestones were establishing Wine Spectator’s Restaurant Awards program, taking over the long-running Wine Experience weekend to bring producers together with consumers and creating the Wine Spectator Scholarship Foundation. “It was an extremely influential publication that, along with Robert Parker, actually affected the way wine was made.

Wine Spectator could make wineries halfway around the world change the way they made wine,” W. Blake Gray of the website Wine-Searcher told the New York Times .

Born in New Haven, Connecticut, Shanken studied business at the U. of Miami, then received an MBA from American U.

He started off working in investment banking on Wall Street, during which time he was sent to California to help finance a vineyard purchase. This led to him developing a strong interest in wine and the industry.

He pivoted his career to running the Impact newsletter, encouraged by its reception from alcoholic beverage wholesalers. At the time, there was very little substantial reporting on the wine business.

After he bought the struggling Wine Spectator newspaper, he relocated the offices from San Diego to San Francisco and became editor. The magazine expanded to cover travel, cooking, restaurants and collecting, and recently celebrated its 50th anniversary.

Shanken is survived by his wife, Hazel Rudy, daughters Jessica, Allison and Samantha, four grandchildren and two sisters.
