October 17, 2009: Though telephone book size, I keep it in my car trunk, bringing it into the store with me, primarily using it to rate wines on sale. Not only has it help prevent me from buying dogs, but on each visit saves me far more than the initial purchase cost of this fine guide.
Even if the guide doesn't review the specific year, or in some cases even the specific grape(s), it's still useful in giving me a good overview of some more obscure winery's reputation; if virtually all their wines rate reasonably well, I think it's a fair assumption that this one will be acceptable, even if it's a 'best buy.'Since the guide doesn't include any wineries that they judge as producing wines rating under 80 points, it makes it easy to eliminate from consideration wineries that I might have previously considered taking a chance on (and usually being disappointed). Obviously, this won't work if you're in a hurry.
