help with wine ratings

[Innkeeper]

I think that it is a good idea to find a reviewer/rater whose palate is similar to ones own. I grant that 100% is impossible. The one that I frequently take advice from, other that the "experts" around here, is Dan Berger. From my narrow point of view, the $55 per year for his newsletter is well worth it. He only mentions wines he recommends and rates them either as "Exceptional" or "Very Highly Recommended." Best of all I can afford many of the wines he recommends.
