Yes, things do shift around at each edition. Partly because the two
organizations, Slow Food and Gambero Rosso, take turns for each
region.
Despite being very involved in Slow Food, I almost take no notice of
this guide. Too many international style wines, all very similar, all
easily challenged by new world wines at lower prices. I think that
this guide is far too influenced by Gambero Rosso and specifically by
some of its critics like Cernilli.
Signs of change: the recent appearance of people like Gravner on the
list. A bit late, mind you, because Gravner's wonderful wines are so
far off in the other direction that they might scare some people...
