The Wine Blue Book? Heck Yes! If you are serious about wine and shopping for it, this is a tool you absolutely need to prepare yourself for the ever changing market of vinous commerce. Not only can you find ratings, but a unique Quality Index percentage. Finally a wine rating system that delivers true information based on price AND quality. The lower the percentage, the better value/ quality per dollar ratio. Brilliant. My tasting schedule sure isn't what it used to be, and this handy reference helps me keep up with what wines are out there.
I've never been a ratings whore, and many of you know me as one who eschews Speculo- advocated media sensationalism, but when I run across a wine that I am not sure about, this guide answers the Big Question: "Yes, but is it worth it?"

Next time you ask yourself the Big Question, it should be while your nose is in The Wine Blue Book, not in a wine glass full of regret.
