Obviously the best method to select a wine before purchasing is to taste it . However, tasting before buying is not always an option.
I don't pay much attention to a wine's description on the back label, since they all seem to lavish praise on the stuff inside even if it is plonk.
However, there is a fairly reliable quality indicator on the label which I do use: the name of the *importer*.
In addition to, for example, Kermit Lynch, Jorge Ordonez and Eric Solomon ( I know I am leaving several worthy others out), who are the importers whose name on the label--in your experience--equate to a guarantee that the juic e inside the bottle will be of good quality?
Thanks.
