I'll be tasting at a few wineries in Virginia next weekend, by the way :) Your winery map will help in keeping us on track (not lost, that is!). Great work!

I (on foodandwineblog.com) use the traditional 100 pt system combined with QPR. When I use QPR, I also specify that it's relative to one's budget and the wine in question. A 90 pt wine for $15 is a great QPR, but a 90 pt wine for $30 might just be OK depending on the type of wine it is (a $30/90 pt Chateauneuf, which are generally much more expensive, is a great QPR for Chateauneuf). It's a difficult situation to resolve- I think the answer is a combination of rating and QPR and always advocate reading the tasting note itself when trying to determine it's a wine that you'll like. Great topic.
