USER’S MANUAL

Introduction

About this Wine Guide

This wine guide is both an educational and a wine 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 by providing you sufficient insider’s information to permit the wisest possible choice when a wine-buying decision must be made.

The finest producers and growers of the world’s greatest viticultural regions are evaluated, as well as most of the current and upcoming releases in the marketplace. If you cannot find a specific vintage of a highly regarded wine, you still have at your fingertips a wealth of information and evaluations concerning the best producers for each viticultural area.

At the heart of this book is an impartial and comprehensive consumer’s guide to the world’s finest, most consistent producers, and you should be confident in the knowledge 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 Parker’s Wine Buyer’s Guide, 3rd ed.)
