Do Wine Critics Really Help You Select a Bottle?

July 7th, 2010 Ben Brouse

I’ve posted about this before but I think Tom Wark over at the Fermentation: The Daily Wine Blog is more adept at describing the situation.

"There are many trustworthy palates; you should seek out as many as you can. You should find out their favorites and if you can afford them, you should try them to see if your palate roughly aligns. If they offer no great reviews of affordable wines, you should look elsewhere; great wine is all around, just like good reviewers."

I look forward to the day that the 100 point scale is gone.   Have you ever seen a bottle labeled with a 38 in a liquor store?    I assure you – there are probably some that should be.
