Sites to Learn More about Wine

www.WineSpectator.com;  Some useful free information, but most of the content requires a subscription

www.eRobertParker.com;  For those whose palates align with Robert Parker, editor of the Wine Advocate, this is a valuable site.  All his wine reviews are available at this site, but a subscription is required.

www.SanDiegoUncorked.com;  An informal wine appreciation group that sponsors monthly tastings in San Diego.  Geared towards the younger set (under 50).

www.WineRelease.com;  Find out when your favorite wines are scheduled for release from the winery

http://www.professorbainbridgeonwine.com/; A site with free wine reviews.  Well written, as you would expect from a law professor.  Similar to our site, but much bigger and more professional.

www.Vinography.com;  One of the better rambling wine blogs out there.

http://www.wein-plus.com/;  An international site with some free content and some subscription content.  A large site that takes some time getting used to.
