Wine Spectator Trumps All

I love the Wine Spectator. There are a ton of places online and off to source great wine recommendations and tips and industry content, but this mag trumps them all. I have been an online news reader for years and can’t get enough of the iPhone app store, but I am a romantic for the tangible item. I still get my Saturday morning National paper, Bon Apetit magazine, I “borrow” Dwell and The Economist from my husband’s office and more recently, ahhhhhhhh, Wine Spectator.

The size of the mag makes you feel special just holding it. Not your standard at about 9″x13″, the weight is just right and the texture is not too stiff and glossy nor paper thin. I love a magazine that can capture the essence of an issue with simple graphics on the cover. The photography is passable and sometimes lacks imagination (The Economist is supreme on this) but the simple headline entices you to jump right in.

From editor’s picks to the latest news in the biz to the Buyer’s Guide it’s packed with at least an hour or 2 of fabulous info.

And when you’ve gone cover to cover, it’s an excellent resource to hang on to.

Check out the Wine Spectator online and for viewing on your mobile as well.
