"One of the most gratifying aspects of being a wine critic is discovering those under-the-radar, superb wine bargains that taste as if the should cost two or three times the price but don't. I taste thousands of wines every year, and most of my colleagues have been tasting wine for twenty or more years. This book has long been in the works, and it seems that it could not have come out a more appropriate time, given the world economic crisis and downsizing of everyone's net worth. This book focuses on wines that, given current exchange rates with the dollar and what domestic wineries are charging, are priced at $25 or below per bottle. The myth is that wines that cost $25 or less are worth just what you pay for them and are never terribly interesting. This is totally untrue, and with work, one can unearth these small treasures that delivery seriously good wine at remarkably fair prices."
