Robert parker's wine tasting tour
Robert parker, Jr. and robert parker were born in Baltimore, Maryland, USA on 1947. He graduated with honors from the University of Maryland, majoring in history and minoring in art history. After that, he entered the University of Maryland Law School and graduated from 1973. During the half year of 10, he became a lawyer and a senior lawyer, and later became an assistant legal adviser to the General Chamber of Commerce of Baltimore Agricultural Credit Bank. 1On March 9, 984, he resigned as an assistant legal adviser and began to concentrate on wine writing.
His interest in wine began at 1967, when he was visiting his girlfriend (now his wife of 30 years) at the University of Strasbourg in Alsace, France.
1975, he began to think of writing an "independent, consumer guide" about wine tasting, mainly because there was a great lack of reliable and professional wine quality information at that time. Relatives and friends advised him to achieve higher attainments in law, but wine writing is only a romantic and unprofitable major.
Anyway, in 1978, the idea of publishing wine tasting was formally formed. The first issue of TheWineAdvocate is distributed free of charge to wine consumers who have purchased mail-order catalogues from several major wine retailers. 1In August, 978, less than 600 people began to subscribe to this magazine. More than 20 years later, Wine Advocate magazine has more than 40,000 subscribers, covering all American states and 37 countries. Today, any expert observer admits that wine advocates not only in the United States, but also in France, Britain, Switzerland, Japan, Taiwan Province Province, Singapore, Russia, Mexico, Brazil and China have an important influence on the buying behavior and trends of serious wine consumers. In addition, the Wine Initiative was published in French.
In addition to tasting and writing for the bimonthly Wine Advocate published in Barton, Maryland, Parker is also a guest editor of Wine Magazine and regularly writes for Yuan Ye, a modern English poetry magazine. He is also a wine critic of L'Express magazine and the first foreigner in the magazine to take the post of wine critic.

In 1992, this book won the "International Culinary Professional Association" award as a top wine book. In the same year, Parker was selected as "Maryland Person of the Year" by loyola College in Maryland.
Once rated as "the most influential wine critic in the world" by The New York Times, Mr. robert parker created a simple and clear wine scoring system (100 scale). As the world's number one wine critic, Mr. Parker was first widely concerned by the wine industry because he magically predicted that 1982 was a rare good year in the history of Bordeaux wine in France. As a professional lawyer, Mr. Parker is the founder of wine advocate, a writer of food and wine, and a columnist of business weekly. So far, Mr. robert parker has published 1 1 wine books.
Mr. robert parker is the only wine writer and critic in history who was awarded the honor of supreme chairman by two French presidents and one Italian president.
In 2005, Simon & Schuster Publishing House published Robert Parker's new work "The World's Top Wine Manor: A Modern Perspective". For ordinary people, they may never drink 1000 different kinds of red wine in their lifetime. According to the French weekly Viewpoint, a sommelier named Olivier Pusier tasted more than a thousand kinds of wines in 10/0 days.
Olivier, 43, was named "the best sommelier" in the world in 2000. He is now the wine service manager of Accor Group. At the beginning of last month, he received a task to taste about 800 kinds of wine for Accor's chain hotels and restaurants. In the following weekend, I tasted 200 1 more than 350 kinds of wines made in France.
In a recent interview with Reuters, he explained that he usually tastes about 80 kinds of wines on average every week, and many wine importers know their quality. However, at present, the grape tree species selected by wine farmers are limited to the conventional 10 variety, which leads to the same taste of the brewed wine. If these 10 varieties continue to be widely used, the tastes of all wine producing areas will tend to be the same, which will bring harm to the wine industry.
Olivier believes that wines from Eastern Europe and Croatia will become the stars of tomorrow. In Croatia, there are very few varieties of vineyards in Crimea, which is called "golden garden" by Olivier. She is one of the three most authoritative tasters in the world. She has published more than 10 books and videos related to wine. Her world wine map is known as the Bible of wine, and her personal column is very popular.
Speaking of Jesse Robinson, you may never have heard of her, but she is the most dazzling star in the wine industry. If you are a fashion person who loves wine, it is absolutely necessary to know her.
Ms. Jancis Robinson, an Englishman, is known as one of the "three great sommeliers in the world" and was named "Master of Wine" by the British Wine Association. So far, she has written dozens of monographs on wine and contributed to the wine column of the Financial Times in London for a long time. James Halliday is the most respected wine critic and wine columnist in Australia. People who are familiar with wine will be amazed that he has long regarded wine as an art; People who are not familiar with wine will be impressed by his ability to know wine like the back of his hand. If wine is the most sincere lover in his life, I am afraid it is not an exaggeration!
The most famous wine writer

These books reflect his unique views on wine, which are rigorous but humorous, and are deeply loved by amateur and professional wine lovers all over the world.

These include wine atlas-Australia and New Zealand, art and; Wine Science (in collaboration with hugh johnson), Oxford Wine Guide, and La Luce Wine Encyclopedia (in collaboration with Dzhanis Robinson). The most famous is the Australian wine guide, which not only introduces the producing areas and performances of Australia in each year, but also scores nearly 2,000 wineries and 6,000 Australian wines. This book has been very popular since its publication, and it is revised and updated almost every year. This year is version 10. James's works have won numerous awards and have been translated into foreign languages many times, including French, German, Japanese and Danish.
