Kurzbeschreibung
Featuring a fresh layout, revised maps, and more detail than ever before, the eagerly anticipated seventh edition of Parker's Wine Buyer's Guide offers collectors and amateurs alike the ultimate resource to the world's best wines. In every way, this edition bears out Parker's stated goal: "To make you a more formidable, more confident wine buyer by providing you with sufficient insider's information to permit the wisest possible choice when you make a wine-buying decision."
Understanding that buyers on every level appreciate a good deal, Parker separates overvalued bottles from undervalued, with wine prices instantly shifting according to his evaluations. Indifferent to the wine's pedigree, Parker's eminent 100-point rating system allows for independent, consumer-oriented, inside information.
The latest edition of Parker's Wine Buyer's Guide includes expanded information on Spain, Portugal, Germany, Australia, Argentina, and Chile, as well as new sections on Israel and Central Europe. As in his previous editions, Parker provides the reassurance of a simple number rating, predictions for future buying potential, and practical overviews of regions and grapes. Altogether, an indispensable resource from the man the Los Angeles Times calls "the most powerful critic of any kind."

Format:Taschenbuch
Eigentlich braucht man ja nicht viel zu Parker´s Wine Guide zu sagen. Parkers System ist Weinkennern ja bekannt, viele Weine werben mit Parker-Punkten. Man muss natürlich wissen, dass Parker auf Bordeaux-Weine, die in Eichenfässern gereift sind, steht. Wenn man auch diesen Geschmack hat, kann man zuverlässig nach dem Wine Guide gehen. Weine die von Parker mehr als 90 Punkte erhalten, werden aber schnell teuer... Im Buch werden die Weinregionen, die Weingüter und die bewerteten Weine kurz, aber ausreichend und gut dargestellt. Für mich ist der Guide schon ein Kriterium für den Weinkauf, da ich auch Bordeaux-Weine oder ähnlich gemachte aus anderen Gegenden mag. Weinländer wie Spanien oder auch Deutschland kommen im Guide etwas kurz. Überhaupt muss ich als Riesling-Fan sagen, dass Parker von deutschen Weißweinen weniger versteht als von Bordeaux-Weinen, die Bewertungen für deutsche Weine finde ich nicht sehr zutreffend. Ausschlaggebend für den Weingenuss sollte aber sowieso der eigene gute Geschmack und nicht ausschließlich so ein Weinguide sein!

All Numbers No Notes
23. Oktober 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
Parker's Wine Buyer's Guide, Robert M. Parker, Jr., Simon and Schuster, New York, 2008, 1513 pages, softback, $35. Four pounds of numbers. For $35 you get pages and pages filled with no specific wine descriptions, just lists and lists of the numerical score on the one hundred point scale. I don't get it. For years whenever the 100 point scale has been debated Parker has always responded that a reader should never just rely on the number he gives to a wine. The reader must also consider the written evaluation of the wine. Indeed he makes this same point in the introduction to this work. "However, it is also vital to consider the description of the wine's style, personality and potential." If it is "vital" why have all of these descriptions been stripped out this book? All that the author provides is the score and a window of drinkability. Other than some general comments about the winery as a whole, there are no specific comments about any of the wines. So a wine gets a score of 94 but will it go well with duck confit? No guidance is given at all. The reader deserves far more.
Given that Parker is the most influential wine critic in the world, I would have thought that before making derogatory remarks about a wine producer, he would have done extensive detailed research about the wines. Not so. Parker takes a swipe at the wines of Kosta-Browne stating that, "I find them somewhat superficial and overripe." (Pages 1194) Here is a winery that made its reputation on small lots of Sonoma County Pinot Noir. But Parker only lists scores on two pinots, both from the Central Coast, not Sonoma County. I thought that perhaps other Kosta Browne wines sourced from Sonoma grapes might have been tasted but dropped from this work because of space limitations. But when one goes to the Parker's web site, the only tasting notes are on these same two Central Coast pinots. Wouldn't you think a powerful critic is under an ethical obligation to taste all, or most, of the wines from a producer (especially their best wines) before publicly disparaging them?
To be fair, I really liked the section of the book that presents an annotated bibliography of wine books. Thankfully the books get more than just a naked numerical rating.
Parker afficionados will probably adore this work from their guru. I find it frustrating and missing key components. Not Recommended.

Mostly just a summary of existing published info
28. Juni 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
Mostly this book is just a synopsis of the latest point ratings and a summary on the wine producers. As noted by others, there aren't actually reviews for each wine, so you're left to buy a wine based simply on the "Parker Points" awarded. The introductory portion is merely a repeat of past books.
To me the best parts were the region summaries of the Loire, Germany, and Burgundy (which I believe were all produced by David Schildknecht). I've heard fans of Italian wines also laude Galloni's summary of Italy.
It's also worth noting that although Parker has indicated that most (60%) wines are purchased and "tasted blind when possible", recent conversations on his online forum indicate that he apparently may not follow these policies any longer, leading me to question what really is his stance on blind tasting and critical independence.

disappointment...
13. September 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
Just numbers and numbers and numbers.
I found the 6th edition to be a far better work. It is a fun and interesting read. He had stories to tell then, henri bonneau, the first growths, jayer...
The 7th edition turns out to narrow wines to a compendium of numerical values that I thought would be the exact antithesis of what he preached. Did he get lazy or just lost the passion? I am disappointed and saddened by this turn.
