Thoroughly revised and updated, this fifth edition of the
Parker's Wine Buyer's Guide has been eagerly awaited by seasoned collectors and
occasional drinkers alike. No one wants to waste his or her precious dollars on an
unenjoyable bottle, and with Parker's advice in hand, no one ever will.
Employing his famous 100-point rating system and copious
tasting notes, Parker evaluates more than 8,000 wines of recent vintage from all the major
wine-producing regions in the world. More than 3,000 specific growers and producers from
the world's leading viticultural areas are evaluated separately, and Parker's independence
from the trade allows him to be completely honest in his opinions.
This latest edition has been revised, updated, and
expanded to offer increased coverage of Australia, the Burgundy region of France,
California, and the Pacific Northwest. While continuing to provide the most extensive and
authoritative reviews in the world of the wines of all regions covered previously, Parker
has also added coverage of Austria for the first time ever.
In addition to the valuable ratings information, Parker's
Wine Buyer's Guide includes all the information today's consumer needs in order to
select the perfect bottle, store it, spot a badly stored and abused bottle, and find the
best wine values. Quite simply, Parker's Wine Buyer's Guide is the indispensable
resource on wine from America's most knowledgeable and influential authority on the
subject.
