What’s the Real Score?

Are you over the exaggerated ratings that help retailers sell wine? Do you want to know the real score, from the ugly truth about a gold-medal wine to the unsung gem at a bargain price? We’ve built a dedicated following of wine lovers who want straight talk, and our Best Buys Weekly mailer has become essential reading for them. This is what they say:
