Unauthorized

Dear Readers,

On Friday, 28th October (note the new, earlier date) at 12 noon USA EDT, we will be publishing our spooktacular Halloween Issue: Wine Advocate Issue 227. This Godzilla of a report is certainly giving our editorial team the heebie jeebies, since we have more tasting notes and articles to edit before the witching hour than ever before – 42 new spine-tingling reports!

Headlining this issue is Robert Parker’s much anticipated annual Northern California Report (Part One), mainly featuring Napa Valley’s new releases with some juicy Sonoma reviews, too. Equally exciting are reports focusing on some of the world’s greatest wine regions and their iconic wines, including Priorat, Bolgheri, Bordeaux, Châteauneuf du Pape, Barossa, Rheingau, the Douro, the Loire, Santa Cruz Mountains and more!

Weighing in at around 5,000 new wine reviews (they’re still coming in as I type!), here is what we have in store for subscribers in our End of October Issue 227:
