I select in the Food and Drink category, WINE SPECTATOR:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_Spectator

Wine Spectator is a magazine that focuses on wine. Founded as a newsprint tabloid by Bob Morrisey in 1976, it was purchased three years later by publisher Marvin R. Shanken. That year, its panel of experts blind tasted and reviewed over 12,400 wines. Each of the 16 issues per year contains a large section devoted to wine reviews and wine ratings.

The magazine's consumer orientation is reflected in stories such as family conflicts among producers, the identification of producers whose wines suffered from systematic cork taint, and alerting collectors to the proliferation of counterfeit wines. Among the critics in the magazine's tasting panel are James Suckling, James Molesworth and James Laube.

I especially like the annual Ultimate Buying Guide (over 16,000 wines rated). There are many wines rated 90+ available for less than $20. There is little attention paid to Canadian wines.

The front-man for the Dandy Warhols talks about wine:
