Life's too short to drink bad wine. October 27, 2001
11 out of 13 found this review helpful

The format of this magazine, it's dimensions and heft, reveal much about Wine Spectator's coverage of the subject matter. So much to learn and experience and so little time.

Wine Spectator does an excellent job of covering the wine world, it's fascinating history and contemporary culture, the mind blowing breadth of wine offerings, and invaluable guidance on how to approach, acquire, care for, and enjoy wine.

I've found almost all of the articles of interest. Often times I end up discovering a new varietal or regional wine I knew nothing about and had no interest in. This has really helped me expand my palette as well as my knowledge...and my modest cellar.

If you know alot about wine, you probably read Wine Spectator already, because you know how much more there is to discover. If you are at all interested in wine, grab this magazine and read it from front cover to back. You'll be anxious for the next issue, and your next visit to your local wi!ne merchant.

The quintessential gourmet magazine October 27, 2001
12 out of 14 found this review helpful

Whether you're a wine collector, a connosiuer, a novice with passion to learn more about wine, or a "foodie", your interests will be well-served with a subscription to "Wine Spectator".

"Wine Spectator" is always current on the hip trends, prices, and hot picks among wines and never seems to miss a beat with their thorough reviews. They know what's hot and what's not -- and if you're like most of the population and can't spend $400.00 on a bottle of wine, or don't feel that you know enough to even enjoy a $400.00 bottle of wine, don't worry -- they don't cater to only and upper eschelon of wine drinkers. "Wine Spectator" makes recommendations and highlights wines in all prices ranges, defying the myth that a good bottle of wine has to be expensive. Additionally, I've always found "Wine Spectator" wine ratings to be consistent- using their 100-point rating system.

Issues of "Wine Spectator" are hearty and filled with information. While it has it'!s share of advertisements, it's not overwhelming like, for instance, your average glamour magazine with 10 pages of ads for every one page of content!

Whether you're looking to know what your wine cellar is worth with current pricing, want to know if you should drink or hold, want to read more wine reviews, or just want to learn more about the fine art of wine appreciation, "Wine Spectator" is a great subscription pick.

The best wine resource out there October 27, 2001
1 out of 7 found this review helpful

Whether you're a collector of fine wines or just like the occasional bottle of red, Wine Spectator is an invaluable resource. Each issue has features that focus on different wine types or regions, as well as dining and travel articles. The best part, however, are the wine reviews. Wine Spectator's ratings are some of the most accurate and well respected. Aside from rating somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 wines per issue, they feature wines in different categories from Cellar Selections (wines meant to be aged), to great wines at affordable prices. So if you like wine, you'll love this magazine.
