Wine Reviews

Want to know which producers and which wines are blowing our minds? You've come to the right spot. Available to paid subscribers, the wine reviews section includes our curated lists of the Essential Winemakers of Italy and France, the 50 annual Wines to Admire, the Nebbiolo Fan Club (woot woot for tar and roses!) and our regular thematic tasting reports.

Essential Winemakers

The Who's Who of Italy and France. Winemakers who are always compelling, always a great introduction to their area, and always priced fairly. A solid mix of value-driven as well as splurge-worthy wines.
