Wine buys.

If that were reliable Fuzion would be the top rated wine. That stuff
flies off the shelf. It is a drinkable cheap wine, not a good wine.

Various wine magazines. I understand that I should not trust a rating
done by the store selling the wine, but the argreement among the various
wine magazines is good enough that I don't need to worry about it. So
what if a $100 bottle get rated a 98 when there's a $13 bottle that got
a 96. I'm not going to be able to tell that level of difference.

Consumers Reports often does comparisons of lower priced wines that they
rate as acceptably good. When buying basic table wines I've referred to
their recommendations at times.
 
very good point... to this point i have tried a lot of wines at tastings,
parties and purchasing... but my education is not where i want it... i would
say i am sorta with wines like i am with musical instruments, i play several
by ear, some adequate, some not, but i only have a passing ability to read
music... some talent, a little skill... my most recent personal improvement
is to understand more of the mechanics and technicalities of wine... i am
one who prefers less expensive but i will only drink what tastes good, not
purchase based on name or higher snob factor... i will have to get the dh to
see what wine mags he can look at..

again thanks.

All-purpose Consumer Reports post.


The All-Purpose Recent Consumer Reports Review Of Widgets

*All bold text (between asterisks in a plain text view) should be
replaced by your own choice or deleted as appropriate*.

The latest issue of Consumer Reports has a new review of *widgets*. As
ever, Consumer Reports misses the important points familiar to we
serious professional *widget* users. For example, Consumer Reports does
not take into account significant aspects like *colors of widgets*.
Anyone who really needs to choose a *widget* would of course go to the
*Widget Review* for information and for reviewers that we all know are
not influenced by commercial considerations.

Of course, Consumer Reports is suitable for reviews of less important
things like *cameras, cars, refrigerators, computers etc* for ordinary
users and amateurs but, as we experts all know, Consumer Reports has its
own agenda and a notorious bias against *widgets*.

*Optional Common Pugnacious Insults taken from the net that could be
added:*

*Consumer Reports is probably OK for Joe Sixpack - just not for anyone
with room temperature IQ and any knowledge of subject matter.*

*They've never taught me a thing - and they have, to my knowledge,
completely and totally ignored Linux.*

If you subscribe to Wine Spectator, you can get to their web content
(ratings) - which is a nice little perk.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

I remember those Rossi 4l bottles from when I was in my early
twenties. You are fortunate if you like the taste. Our local
supermarket sells wine cases at cost plus $1.50.
