And I have seen stuff with his name on and outside of his areas of
speciality that is plain wrong. I would not regard Parker as any
authority on Swiss wine.

That was my exerience. I found Swiss wine bought in Swiss shops
interesting and reasonable value for money.

That said, in the OP's situation I am not sure that I would advise
taking back a couple of Swiss bottles. But in my case, where I had
reasonable wine merchants at home, I was more than happy to buy Swiss
wine to take home.
