All are fantastic wines that among quite a few others made “Someone’s” Top 100 Wine List for 2011… Smiling to myself as the “Score Whores” who are now out clambering for “Top 100” wines will soon discover that many have sold out months ago… Of course there’s always the option of paying for that premium up charge from those who still have wines to sell ya’ via your internet search inquiries!
It’s no secret that many “Top 100” wines are now on to their new vintage releases… The best lesson for all is to find that trusted Wine Geek Friend or Retailer, and take his or her advice on recommendations that you Seek, Find, Buy, & Enjoy a bottle of wine… or three!
