Is there any way to get copies of back issues They only list the previous four weeks Lorraine

I don't think so. I vaguely recall somebody posing this question before and the answer turned up no. Do you have a subscription?

Lorraine,

I have copies back to January 2003. Are you looking for one in particular? I'm pretty sure that once they're deleted from the website, they're gone....

Purple is correct, after four weeks they are permanently deleted.

Just revamping my Wine List for work The weekly's are pretty informative I quess I'll just start saving them now that I've renewed my online

Lorraine,

I can send you what I have via e-mail. 2003 alone is around 8 MB in PDF format so you'd want a pretty high speed connection if you didn't want to tie up your machine all day. Let me know.

That would be more than generous I have a cable connection so shouldn't have a problem
e-mail at lpomes@optonline.net Thanks so much !!

For what it's worth, once a quarter WS Weekly posts all the wines rated during the last 3 months. It is possible to go back to the WS on-line data base to get tasting notes on any particular wines listed on the quarterly recap.

Lorraine,

All sent. You should have all 2003 and 2004 to date. Respond to e-mail to confirm receipt and let me know if you're missing anything. Glad to help.

Check your e-mail account for message.

We do not archive Wine Spectator Weekly, because all the notes eventually wind up in the magazine database. We believe the principal value of the Weekly is the advance notice it offers of high-scoring, low-production wines. So it kind of defeats the purpose to refer back to old issues! Though I understand the sensibility that keeps back files on almost everything, because I do it myself.

However, it is correct that each quarter we publish an issue of the Weekly that lists all wines published in the past three months. This is a condensed, convenient record of wines that have appeared in the Weekly.

Thanks for subscribing!
