Part III - Even More Resources To Add to Your Low-Cost Wine CellarJan 12 '00 Write an essay on this topic.I am amazed by the breadth and depth of resources available on the web for the eager winebuyer who wants good value for not much money. A few more to check out as you build your wine collection: The Ashington-Pickett Review @ thewinereview.com - This wine review has been around since 1991 and the writers specialize in covering all price ranges for wine with an emphasis on wines $15 and under. You can get some great recommendations without subscribing [though it is only $20 to get the full content and all the reviews]. The teaser content gives you some good starter suggestions in the $10-20 range. Wine Spectator - the granddaddy old reliable is also online at winespectator.com. They archive all of their reviews online. Click on the "wine search" button, then click on "wine ratings" to get to a menu that allows you to specify varietal or type, wine region [if you care], and price range. Specifying "all red wines," "Napa" as my region, and a $10-15 price range, the search engine immediately generated a list of 86 recommendations. I'm sad to say that changing the region to "Bulgaria" turned up no red wines in the same price range. However, I turned up 12 red wines from Austria in that range. A handy tool! Dan Berger's Vintage Experiences at www.vintageexperiences.com turns up a number of inexpensive chardonnays along with prolific, understandable notes from Dan himself. Apparently, Dan is a respected wine columnist in California. His reviews are certainly clear and helpful. Bon voyage - happy hunting at the vintner!  |
