I have been reeding the Wine ADvocate since the early years when it was just Robert Parker. I let my subscription lapse a while back and was surprised to learn just how large the staff had gotten. The Wine Speculator has had a large staff for quite a while and some I agreed with and others less so. I have read numerous other books and publications through the years. One nice thing about subscribing to a service that has expertise is you can buy wines that are excellent outside your comfort zone from which to expand your palette. I actually enjoy lots of wine that others I know find disgusting. Gigondas and Saint Joseph regions are two such types. I still prefer a Grand Cru Bordeaux or Burgundy. Sunday night I had some Seavey Cabernet that was outstanding. I don't recall the year, but it was great. We went through much of three bottles of it at a family gathering.
