This is a pretty good guide if you already know a fair amount about wines and are just looking for recent statistics and prices. I find it helpful for eyeballing a 2001 Bordeaux or Chianti, and looking at which producers are consistently solid. It also give you a base for figuring out what prices should be. This guide doesn't provide much other info however, so if you're looking to learn about wines, check out some of the other guides out there like Robert Parker's.

I am extremely disappointed in the way that I have been treated by this company. I will never again purchase anything from them and would like other people to know just what happened to me. I purchased two products for them and paid $13.90 to have the two products gift wrapped. When they arrived, they were not gift wrapped. Contacted them on December 22, 2010, to tell them I would like a credit made to my credit card since the items were not wrapped and I had paid for this. I got NO reply back from them. E-mailed them again and got a reply back saying they would contact me within 48 hours with a response. At this point, I have received no further response from them. Just want other people to be aware of what could happen to them with this company.
