Parker’s Wine Buyer’s Guide
n
“This book is both an educational and buying
manual; it is not an encyclopedic listing of wine
producers and growers. It is intended to make
you a more formidable, more confident wine
buyer....You should be confident in the knowl-
edge that you will rarely make a mistake (unless, of course, the vintage is absolutely
dreadful) if you go with a producer judged “outstanding” or “excellent.” (From
Buyer’s Guide
, 3rd ed.)
