About this
Wine Guide
Introduction
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 in-
tended to make you a more formidable, more
confident wine buyer by providing you suffi-
cient 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 evalu-
ated, as well as most of the current and up-
coming releases in the marketplace. If you
cannot find a specific vintage of a highly re-
garded wine, you still have at your fingertips a
wealth of information and evaluations con-
cerning 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.)
