I don't give it a ton of weight, effects at the most +/- 1 rating and that only if its a significant detraction or addition. Example - I just reviewed a Paso Robles Syrah that I purchased for $10. The wine was very good and I would score it a solid 3 (86 pts). The value was so great that my official rating will clock in as a 3+. On the side, I've had wines that would score 4+ (94 pts) that were $100 and I reduced their rating to a 4. I think consistency is where it's at. I totally see where you're coming from in providing a pure 'like / don't like' rating, but since the whole process has some subjectivity to it, I'm choosing to add the pricing information into the overall outcome for those readers here. Does that help / make sense? Josh Robert, my intention in providing a review that includes the QPR is to try to give an overall impression of the wine including the price.

I noticed in your review images that your assessment of QPR is baked into your rating. I know some people do and some don't include an assessment of value when rating a wine- do you have a post or a link I could refer to for your thoughts on this in general? If not, I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on how you decided to include a value assessment in your rating of wines. I'm not in favor of including value assessments in ratings, preferring to include only my assessment of how much I liked a wine when I rate it but I'd be honestly interested in hearing your opinion on this. Thanks, Bob Hey Josh!
