The Wine Spectator

“Politic, cautious, and meticulous;
Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse;
At times, indeed, almost ridiculous —
Almost, at times, the Fool.”

Useful for harvest reports and other news about the wine industry. The reviews are something else. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You definitely won't learn anything about wine. Sometimes I wonder if they don't use a random review generator that just selects from an adjective database: This wine has (leather, smoky, earth) overtones with a hint of (vanilla, cassis, lint remover)...and merits a (90,91,92,94) point score.
