Ranting on the nature of wine writing

[Kcwhippet]

Delve a bit further into the Forums (Fori?) here on the Wine Board, particularly the Wine Specific ones, and you'll find that about 90% (maybe more)of the wines mentioned are very, very affordable. Admittedly, there are the occasional TNs on wines in the $30 and up range, but most are considerably under that price. Bucko seasonally lists a large number of wonderful wines at great QPR, usually concurrent with his column on www.wineloverpage.com. Botafogo always has some wonderful Italian wines at virtually giveaway prices (sign up for his newsletter for more). If it's really wonderful wines at great prices you want, delve further.
BTW, welcome to the Wine Board.
