Via 1Winedude, and somewhat in a similar slightly goofy (sorry, "rad") spirit, The Second Glass Annual Wine Guide looks reasonably interesting, and I have to admit I laughed out loud at some of the fairly juvenile humor. But some of their wine picks---Castello di Nipozzano's Chianti Rufina ("Drink now or give to your wino friends for aging"), a couple of Proseccos (Zardetto NV, and the $12 Mionetto "Il Prosecco" with the ultra-cool beer/soda style bottle cap, on a perusal of the first few pages---Dry Creek's Chenin Blanc (although I haven't tried this vintage), further on) jive with mine, so I suspect this is a useful resource for wines with a good price/value ratio. They do take ads, however, with some full-pagers from well-reviewed wines, so although I suspect they rate the wines and then drum up the ads, use your judgement. May be aimed at the sophisticated-frat-boy market segment...Trimbach's Pinot Blanc's "crisp flavors of citrus fruit and bright acidity pair perfectly with poolside hotties," and a Japanese wine cooler named "Saké2me" is reviewed. And I just noticed the descriptive icons: "thanksgiving wine" ... "winter warmer" .."pizza" ...what the heck is a "gift wine"...and...
Use at your own risk but this looks like it may have some useful information.
