Robert Parker Wine Advocate

For 40 years, The Wine Advocate has been the leading wine publication influencing serious wine buyers around the globe and essential reading for both wine professionals and enthusiasts alike. Offering detailed consumer advice while declining to accept advertising, The Wine Advocate gives its readers invaluable information on the world of wine as well as a wealth of reviews from our unbiased experts. 

In 2002, The Wine Advocate launched the exhaustive RobertParker.com website, offering readers even greater access to detailed wine reviews and more at a touch of a button. The website archives issues of The Wine Advocate dating back to 1992, but perhaps even more valuable is the website’s database of more than 300,000 (and growing) tasting notes that are available to search across a wide number of criteria. The database is updated monthly with fresh additions from The Wine Advocate’s team of reviewers.

The Wine Advocate boasts more than 50,000 subscribers from every nook of the US and more than 40 countries worldwide, and its founder and president, Robert M. Parker, Jr., with his distinctive note-taking vocabulary, is widely acknowledged as the most influential wine critic on the planet. 

Other popular features of the website include an interactive bulletin board where subscribers can connect directly with Parker and other reviewers. A comprehensive Vintage Chart rates vintages for every major region of the wine world, with many regions offering critical scores going all the way back to 1970. The website is also updated daily with entertaining lifestyle features (including the Wine Journal and Hedonist’s Gazette of food and wine articles), videos and more.
