Wine merchants may issue lists, even catalogues, of their wines. Lists vary from the bald to the loquacious, and good ones from merchants you grow to trust become invaluable. They will have details of vintages: how individual wines are maturing. New wines will be featured; if your favorite merchant lists them, they will be worth a try. And they will offer accounts of visits to producers, which make the wines much more real.
