But this does not fit well with the fact that he accepted to visit several regions just a few days ago, including Valencia and Madrid (that one for free). How could he commit himself to taste and review the wines if he knew he could not have anything published? <br />One would rather think that Mr Parker unexpectedly asked Mr . Miller to resign.
