Robert M. Parker, Jr. Is the only wine writer/critic in history to be given the highest Presidential Honors by two French presidents and an Italian President. On March 29, 1999, President Jacques Chirac signed a decree authorizing Robert M. Parker, Jr. to be a Chevalier dans l’Ordre de la Légion d’Honneur. He was decorated directly by President Jacques Chirac at a ceremony at the Elysée Palace on June 22, 1999. President Chirac, in bestowing France’s highest honor, stated that “Robert Parker is the most followed and influential critic of French wines in the world, something I (President Chirac) witnessed recently when choosing wine for President Clinton, who automatically referred to Robert Parker as his reference for making a proper wine buying decision.” On July 14, 2005, President Chirac promoted Parker to an “Officer” in France’s Legion of Honor, an extremely rare distinction, recognizing the extraordinary contribution he has made to the quality of wine writing, and the education of consumers around the world about French wines. In 1993, the late President François Mitterrand made Robert M. Parker, Jr. a Chevalier dans l’Ordre National du Mérite.
In 2002, Parker was made a Commendatore (Commander) in Italy’s National Order of Merit. The country’s highest honor was bestowed on Mr. Parker by Prime Minister Berlusconi and President Ciampi for his contributions in recognizing the quality of Italian wine in addition to his educational efforts concerning Italian wines in his publication, The Wine Advocate. He is the first wine writer or critic in history to receive Italy’s highest honor.
In 2002, he founded eRobertParker.com, which has become the number one visited website on wine review and commentary according to Alexa.com.
Robert M. Parker, Jr., who, in February, 1999, was profiled in a two part front page article in the Los Angeles Times by their Pulitzer Prize winning media critic, the late David Shaw, has written fourteen books on wine that have been best sellers not only in the United States, but also in their translated versions in France, Japan, Germany, Sweden, Poland, China, Spain, South Korea, and Russia. In the Los Angeles Times, Shaw called Parker “a fierce champion of the wine consumer,” “the most powerful critic of any kind, any where,” and “a sensualist, passionate lover of wine, who is largely responsible for the vastly improved quality of wines made throughout the western world and for the exponential growth in interest, knowledge, and sophistication of those who drink wine.”
In 2005, Simon & Schuster published Robert Parker’s most recent book, The World’s Greatest Wine Estates: A Modern Perspective.
In 2006, Parker’s alma mater, the University of Maryland, bestowed upon him the Distinguished Alumnus Award for 2006.
