Tanzer's " International Wine Cellar", also employing a modern rating system on a 70-100 point quality scale, is considered in direct competition with Robert Parker's "The Wine Advocate", though Tanzer's "controlled prose" is in contrast to the more flamboyant style of Parker.cite web|last =Asimov |first =Eric "The New York Times" |title = Settling in, Glass in Hand, to Read of Wine |url= http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/06/dining/06pour.html |date =December 6, 2006 ]
