Also, you can't just go based on those subjective ratings. They're a good "general" idea of whether something is terrible or okay, but it's mostly marketing.
This is very true. A lot of marketing and "access" goes into getting those ratings. They are just not always reliable.

Sorry for all of the posts, I like this topic.
90% of the time I am shopping at a local wine shop.
But I do like to use the Total Wine app. I filter by what I am looking for, and then put in price parameters, and then sort by Expert Rating.
This just gives me a good idea of what is available at certain price points. I then will look at Vivino or one of the other apps and see what people are saying about a particular wine that fits the parameters. (For instance, sometimes you will see a "97 rated wine" and its only like 50 bucks or something. Then look to see what actual people think of it)
