wine magazines

[hotwine]

I subscribe to three wine mags: Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast and Food & Wine. There are many others available, with the Wine Advocate and Wine & Spirits being two that are excellent. Wine Spectator takes a lot of hits on this board, but it's a fun read, anyway, if for nothing else but its pretentiousness. BTW, if you order a certain amount of goods from Wine Enthusiast, they send you the mag free. Suggest you buy a few of those available off the newstand and sample for yourself. Both Borders and Barnes & Noble have good selections. The mags are so heavily subsidized by advertising revenue that individual copies, as well as annual subscriptions, are dirt cheap.
