Unauthorized

Dear Readers,

On Friday, December 30th at 12 noon USA EDT, we will be publishing our biggest issue of this year: Wine Advocate Issue 228.

Headlining this issue is the second part of Robert Parker’s much anticipated annual Northern California Report, 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 Burgundy 2015s, Northern Rhone, Bordeaux, Argentina, Nahe (Germany), Chianti Classico, Sicily, New Zealand, Portugal and Switzerland and much more!

Weighing in at 30 articles and well over 6000 new wine reviews (they’re still coming in as I type!), here is what we have in store for subscribers in our End of December Issue:
