My new "Mega Wine Geek" Hero, Finder of Under $20 Great Wines

My new hero, Robbie Cook of San Francisco, spends his retirement compiling his website, www.winebestbuys.com. Stacy Finz, of the San Francisco Chronicle, describes Robbie as the “Mega Wine Geek” who mails out for free his newsletter to anyone upon request.

He’s my new hero because I have been wondering if there is a difference between a “90″ point score on a $12 mass produced wine or a 90 from a $50 Bordeaux. Apparently, Robbie has wondered the same thing, and believes there is no difference! Read the article here:
