at this suggestion, I’d urge you to do a Riedel tasting, before you plunk down the $ for your glassware. I’ve done them at the Wine Spectator events, at Sur La Table and just did one at our IW&FS event. Usually those...

Yes, and I read Wine Spectator's response (they had a bunch of people in their offices do it (not all wine writers, like they had the computer graphics person or something like that too) and that all but one got it right) - of...

Have friends who are winemaking through Crushpad. I went to one of the open houses in NYC last spring and tasted various barrel samples. Wine Spectator (TV) was there to interview one of the winemakers (little guys) who have been...

Well, perhaps “lots” is not the most accurate word. At risk of being kicked off this board, I will admit that I really like the Wine Spectator web site, they have a pretty broad wine rating section with good tasting...

's analysis and ratings, although he occasionally seems to me to have a complete miss, e.g. 1970 Montrose, far too high and 1989 Margaux, far too low. The wine spectator is ok, but lacks overall consistency, probably because...

Pierdra, Rivero Gonzalez, Malagon and Licega wineries. All of which need to be noted about. For those of you who read anything by James Suckling of the Wine Spectator you will be pleased to see that in the last two or three months...

Try Wine Spectator Magazine. You have to pay to join however, they do give you I think a week’s free to try it out. I used it recently for a similar request but don’t be surprised if people get cranky if you...

Wine Spectator also has a wine auction database that tracks the auction prices from Aulden Cellars-Sotheby’s, Butterfields, Hart Davis Hart, Acker, Merrall & Condit, Morrell & Company New York, NYWinesChristie’s, and...
