The Top 100 wines of 2011
Want to know what the the top 100 wines of 2011 are? As far as the Wine Spectator is concerned anyway. Visit their
website
to see videos, the tasting notes (and the prices!)
I can strongly recommend a visit to this website. The videos and
tasting notes for the top 10 are excellent. Just click on the home page and then the Top 100 for 2010
and click on the video or tasting note link for any of the top 10.
If you want to see the Top 100 wines, the list is available to download here.
But beware the rather strong bias towards Californian 'boutique' wines in the first dozen or so.
