Now, I tend to be a little bit more adventurous with my pairings. Okay, so, the next big wine myth: White wines with fish, and red wines with meat. MV: So, that’s one myth you guys can just put away for the new year. I’m happy to hear that you do not have to spend a lot to get a good bottle of wine, especially when you don’t always want to. We do not know pricing when we’re reviewing wines, because we really don’t want that to be a factor. Which is why what we do, it’s so important for us when we’re rating and reviewing wines that we taste everything blind. So it’s not a given that just because you’re going to spend more on a bottle, that it’s going to be better.

But in terms of rating and quality, they’re on the same level. And certainly that could be comparable to a established delicious red burgundy that could theoretically be 3, 4, 5 times the price. Those are wines that achieve a certain quality to price ratio, that can be a $15 Pinot Noir from central coast of California, that could be 91 points. So there’s a lot of different factors that might contribute to why a wine might be more expensive, but again, that’s not to say that because it is, it’s going to be of better quality.Īs we know, we taste over 22,000 wines every year, and certainly we taste plenty of wines that we designate as best buys. As a result of that, you’re going to see little bit higher prices from wines from those areas. And therefore the man power and the machinery, or lack of machinery that’s required to actually get those wines, get those grapes pulled and get those wines made in the cellar, is much more substantial than something that’s say, can be harvested by machine no problem. As an example, some of the greatest German wines are harvested from vineyards that are planted on very steep slopes. Now, there are reasons why wines may be more expensive than other wines.

LB: I mean, you can’t really make a blanket statement to say that just because a wine is more expensive, or above a certain price threshold, that it will be of better quality than something that is significantly less. Tell us first of all, is this true or false? All right, so one of the most common myths about wine is: That expensive wines are better wines.
