INDEX of REVIEWED WINES with extras below





  INDEX of REVIEWED WINES
is being reconstructed; keep in mind that most wines reviewed (except for maybe 9) were found and bought in New Hampshire.

  Lets get the scoring (I use the 100 point rating system loosely) out of the way; everyone has a scoring system of one kind or another, and like politics, everyone's own predilection, style, or system is important to them.
Whether one uses 'stars', adjectives like, wonderful, spectacular, average, poor, other, or the five point, 10 points,
20 point, 50 point or 100 point systems makes NO difference to me; I use the 100 point system because it's the most widely used and it's user friendly (JMO), but it is important to see a couple subtleties: An excellent wine scoring 90 points (arbitrary) that costs $100 isn't anything like a 90 point wine that costs $20, it's a QPR (Quality/Price/Ratio) issue; also, a reviewer that's tasted 10,000 wines is more likely to rightly divide any wine against another, that's why you'll hear sommeliers say: "taste, taste, and taste some more."
  I did want to mention a pit-fall with some of the other ways of helping someone to chose when purchasing one wine verses another: Anecdotally, the other morning I was comparison shopping for a Zinfandel, lo and behold a major Web wine dealer listed a Twisted Zinfandel at $9.99 with a higher rating than a Seghesio Zinfandel Old Vines at $26.79; keep in mind that it wasn't the cost that was problematic for me (mostly for the uninitiated), but the quality, and I've had both wines: There is NO comparison! Luckily, they did provide the Seghesio with an additional WS 93 point score, no other score like that for their twisted friend.
  My interest is mostly local and concentrates mostly on wines available in New Hampshire; the average purchaser of wine in NH isn't looking to buy wines from the producer, and I know few people that buy from dealers.
  So, my opinions expressed usually between 75-97 points are just that, my opinions, and if that works as a guide to family and friends, then that makes my day!
Cheers!
