- From chateau to you, trusted wine reviews are closer at hand than ever. The
team at Robert Parker Wine Advocate has been hard at work and can now reveal their inaugural Annual
Regional Guides, a specialised series of guides that present the wines from
each chosen region in a full-colour, softcover book format. These new,
higher quality and larger format publications are different from the former
bi-annual print magazines, and will be shipped in time for Christmas 2019 to
provide invaluable wine information to readers for the coming years ahead. The
guides are suitable for all levels of wine connoisseurs, from beginners looking
to uncover the talking points of the region, to industry professionals and fine
wine collectors seeking up-to-date reviews and insights on icon bottles.

The first in the series are Bordeaux 2020 and California 2020. These two regions
represent the best of Old World and New World, and furthermore are where Robert
M. Parker Jr. first started making his reviews, which would lead to the
creation of the world's most comprehensive wine review publication and most
renown wine scoring system. Each book distills over 1,500�Wine
Advocate�reviews of the most important wines recommended over
the course of the past year, as well as retrospectives on top brands, winery
highlights, vintage reports dating to the 1970s and much more. With the success
of this attractive all-in-one handy format, collectors may get their hands on
Burgundy, Italy and Champagne in future editions.
