I find the three biggest influences over my selection of a wine are the picture on the label, the price and the little I can remember reading in various wine magazines. But over the weekend I found one sage piece of advice I’m pretty sure will hold up for all of us… It comes from Dorothy Gaiter and John Brecher, well known well reviewers.

“When it comes to less expensive wines, we’d avoid wines where cute animals seem to be the main point of the wine.”

No mincing words there…
