The Value Rating:

Your Guide to Dan Dawson’s “Best Buys.”

How it Works...

Wine score (100 point system) divided by retail price, times its “Wine Factor” = VALUE RATING.

The higher the Value Rating, the better the value.

If you’re not into numbers, that's quite all right: Just look at the VALUE CATEGORY.

Best of the Best:

All wines reviewed in Dan Dawson’s Wine Advisor (DDWA) are highly recommended.

That said, if you want the VERY BEST wines for the money (in Dan’s opinion), look at the DDWA AWESOME and HALL of FAME Values.

This Month's List:

Local Focus

Tastings with the principals of COHO, FROG’S LEAP and Y. ROUSSEAU highlighted my preparation for the August "This Month’s List." All three of these make wines from the heart…Frog’s Leap focuses on elegance resulting in lower alcohol, Coho is classic Napa by showing complexity and power, Y Rousseau showcases his French upbringing.

Real my reviews of their wines along with my latest SUMMERTIME picks and much more.
