The recurrently "snooty" Wine Spectator

[Innkeeper]

We subscribe to the aforementioned periodical as well as to Wines & Spirits and Wine Trader. Find the latter two more down to earth. Having said that we continue to subscribe to Wine Spectator for a few reasons. They have informative articles regularly, they have excellent columnists, and do review "Best Buys." Even some of their "Highly Recommended" are within our modest reach. Do share your frustration on a lot of their stuff though. Always skip right over the auction and collection sections, but think they could do a lot better with their travel and food articles. Rarely find a recommendation for a place to eat or drink that we can afford. The otherwise excellent recent feature article on Tuscany, fell way short in this regard. We know there are fine places to stay in Tuscany that don't cost $300.00 a night.
