Best Wine
The purpose of this page is to find the back wine in a certain category. Awhile back we started voting in wine tastings for the favorite wines in a blind tasting. This is an attempt to collect the winners here in a list. The idea is that the list will grow and grow and serve as a guide for good wines to try. Normally the format is 4 wines so the winning wine was a best of 4 (or 5)! Below you will find links to past events and the winners of those events. This list will keep on growing for each event.
In order to learn more about each wine region there are links in the caption for each winner linking you to our relevant post about that specific wine.
