• Parker & Zraly Wine Certification Program provides wine aficionados with an enjoyable and informative way to test their wine knowledge while, at the same time, we acknowledge and celebrate their expertise.
• Mark Squires' E-zine on Wine, The E-Zine dates back to 1995 and provides a fascinating glimpse into the early days of wine on the Internet authored by Mark Squires, who also moderates our wildly popular public bulletin board.

• Web Links: eRobertParker.com offers direct links to the web sites of over 2,000 producers whose wines were reviewed by The Wine Advocate. This is one of the most extensive indexes to producer web sites available anywhere.

We have had many inquiries about updating the eRobertParker.com database with scores and notes from the latest edition of the Bordeaux book. That has not been done because it would violate the publisher's copyright. We are looking for a solution to this problem.

Can I print the information?

Yes. Of course, your browser will print any web page you are viewing. However, we also offer a more powerful printing feature that allows you to accumulate a list of wines from one or more search results and then print it in one of two formats—a "Shopping List" format and a "Label" format. The latter might be used to label bottles at a tasting or dinner, to label cases in your wine cellar or by a retailer as a "shelf talker".

This feature will create a document in Portable Document Format ("PDF") and download it to your browser. In order to view and print this document, you will need a PDF viewer program like Adobe's Acrobat® Reader®.

What's coming next?

Well, this is the brand new eRobertParker.com re-launched in March, 2007 but we will continue to add new features and services.

Can I store my wine cellar information on the web site?

Not yet. However, we are planning My Wines, a unique set of tools for acquiring wine, managing a wine cellar and interacting with other wine lovers around the world. As a fully integrated component of eRobertParker.com access will be free to all subscribers.

I can't find a wine.

Wine nomenclature is a very complex topic. Your problem may be as simple as spelling. We suggest you take our Virtual Tour for more information.

How can I find reviews that are posted on eRobertParker.com but didn't fit into a printed issue of The Wine Advocate?

Additional tasting notes that didn't fit into The Wine Advocate are posted on eRobertParker.com from time-to-time along with the notes that were published in the newsletter. Look for "eRP Only" after the Issue # as a flag that this note wasn't published in that issue of The Wine Advocate due to space limitations.

These notes can be retrieved using either Issue Search or Advanced Search (look at the ARTICLE field once you have specified an issue) where they are categorized under a "phantom article" called "Reviews That Did Not Fit In The Printed Edition".

What do the maturity classifications mean?

The results of a search are first displayed in a list that includes a column entitled "Maturity". That column will contain one of the following values with the meanings shown:

• Young: the wine is not yet within the recommended drinking range suggested in the tasting note.
• Early Maturity: the wine is in the first third of the recommended drinking range.
• Mature: the wine is in the middle third of the recommended drinking range (or in the case of short ranges, anywhere within the range).
• Late Maturity: the wine is in the final third of the recommended drinking range.
• Past Maturity: the wine is past the recommended drinking range.
• ?: no recommended drinking range was given in the note.

If a wine has been tasted more than once, the recommended drink dates are taken from the main tasting note (usually the most recent note, unless an earlier tasting appears to be more complete).

I got an error using the site.
