 A standby for wine lovers. January 7, 2008

For those oenophiles in your life, Food & Wine would probably be at the top of their list of favorites, but this is a strong second.

I ordered Wine Spectator as a Christmas gift for my Husband. The first issue was supposed to arrive by February 12. It is March 31 and we have yet to receive the first issue. I have emailed and called Amazon to inquire about the missing issues and have not heard back. I would recommend purchasing this subscription elsewhere.
***UPDATE*** it is now May and we FINALLY received our first issue. But this was only after MANY calls!! Don't buy this magazine from here.

This was actually a gift for my husband, but he was very pleased. He had been getting it gratis and loves the magazine. The order was filled expeditiously and we have already received copies.

The Wine Spectator is the ultimate guide to wine. As a magazine, it gives trusted up-to-date information on wine and related issues. I look forward to each issue and always find something interesting. I would definitely recommend this periodical to all wine lovers.

There's certainly a lot to hate about Wine Spectator - and, for that matter, Wine Advocate. Many winemakers decry the existence of both magazines, and usually lay the blame entirely at Robert Parker's doorstep for making the 100-point rating system an industry standard.
Wine Spectator's scores have gotten better with time, as have their articles. They've shied away from California "glitz" and have looked more into food. Also, the education classes that they list on their website are becoming increasingly more helpful.
Apparently they listened to much of the criticism and worked toward creating a more respected magazine. I think they've done well.
