There are some pretty good ones on here but also some head-scratchers.



Feel free to expand on this. I would like to avoid the head scratchers.

Each year, Wine Spectator editors survey the wines reviewed over the previous 12 months and select our Top 100, based on quality, value, availability and excitement.

I've been following the list for years and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. If I had to guess I'd say money gets exchanged somewhere. There's no real way to whittle down all the wines of the world from the past year into a top 100 list

Speaking of, the one on my list, the 2017, is likely long gone. I know they are where I live. I've had about 8 or 9 bottles of the 2018, and while its a nice wine it's definitely not as good as the 2017

Is this list legit?


Of course it’s not even close to the best 100 wines available. What it is is a great resource on wines in certain areas that are affordable and easy to find, maybe those vineyards gave wine spectator some financial incentives to promote their product.

I'm sure there are a few rarer ones in there, but a lot of the ones on this list are relatively easy finds.



Yeah you don't see a lot of genuine cult or wine board favorites on these lists.
