The Quarterly Review of Wines “For those who want to know wines, from those who do.” “Congratulations to QRW on its anniversary.
A great achievement. And you keep up the standards.”
Michael Broadbent, Master of Wine “QRW... one of America’s greatest wine magazines.”
Prince Robert of Luxembourg, Château Haut-Brion

In a national survey conducted by the Beverage Journals of America, wine importers, distributors, and retailers rated QRW one of the top three wine magazines.

Wine&Spirits Magazine - About Us
Wine & Spirits tastings are a two-step process. First, all wines submitted to us or purchased are tasted by screening panels, who are asked to determine which wines stand out as being better than average for their variety and appellation. These panels, conducted by W&S staff, are composed of retailers, sommeliers, winemakers and other wine professionals whom we invite to taste with us. The goal is to draw on a broad universe of tasters to help us decide which wines are worth recommending, and to avoid the prejudices any one critic might exercise, consciously or not, which might prevent certain styles or classes of wine from being considered.
The wines recommended by our screening panels-generally between 20 and 30 percent of those originally assessed-are then presented at a later date to our critic, who scores each wine and writes the reviews. A second, unopened bottle of each is used for this step. The critic's ratings are based on how well a wine performs within its category as labeled (varietally or regionally).
Wines from 80 to 85 are recommended as good examples of their variety or region. Wines from 86 to 89 are highly recommended; from 90 to 94 are exceptional examples of their type; and 95 or higher are superlative, rare finds.
The wines recommended here have been selected by a broad range of educated palates, but then rated and described by an individual critic. Our goal with these ratings is for each critic to provide a consistent point of view against which you may measure your own taste over time.
The label reproductions that appear in these tasting reports are a form of advertising. After our tastings are completed and the results have been recorded, our marketing team offers wineries the opportunity to draw attention to their reviews with label reproductions. There is no obligation to advertise, and our scores and reviews are in no way affected by a winery's decision regarding advertising. Neither does advertising influence our selection of the wines we taste; our tastings are open to all.
All bottle reproductions in the magazine, including those for the Year's Best Lists and Best Value pages, are purely editorial art.
