Everyone loves a good hoax

In August, Wine Spectator magazine granted an Award of Excellence to Milan restaurant Osteria L'Intrepido.

Nothing unusual there, right? Well... Let's just say that the prestige of the award was somewhat undermined when it was revealed that the eatery does not exist.

Osteria L'Intrepido was created by wine critic Robin Goldstein as part of an effort to examine the criteria and judgement leading to Wine Spectator awards.
