Wow. This is big news. (Kramer is the Oregonian's wine critic.) I assume this has mostly to do with the continued death-by-a-thousand-cuts at the nation's newspapers. I do not expect the Oregonian to survive another decade.
Kramer had a strong local following. He was at times overly supportive of European wines, particularly French ones, for which he drew some heat. But he also supported many good local wines. He will be missed.
In the "where's the justice" category: Why does a guy like Kramer lose his job, whereas that know-nothing at Salon keeps his wine critic gig?
