 INTRO TO TASTING NOTES

What’s here, 
how it’s done,
   Finding wines

More? Don’t forget that the Articles section often has comments on wines, and the Best Buys and Coups de Coeur sections spotlight the best bargains and the hottest wines reviewed every month. All accessed from the WINE CONTENTS button. Last, but not least, members of the E-Zine’s Bulletin Board post hundreds of notes of their own every month. 

 DISCLAIMER

As is well known, the E-Zine's BB merged onto eRobertParker.com in March, 2002.

Just for the record, my tasting notes and opinions are my own. The Wine Advocate and eRobertParker.com have no input into them and these are not official TWA reviews. Similarly,  I do not have any input into the ratings published in the WA or on eRobertParker.com, other than the ones that appear under my name (at the moment, related to Portugal, Israel, Greece, Lebanon, Bulgaria and Romania) and are specifically identified as mine.
