What's droner drinking tonight?....

Thanks for asking! 

Kim Crawford Unoaked Chardonnay (Marlborough) (2009)($17.00)

A very good white from New Zealand. Chardonnay that's smooth and fruity with that clean bite of acidity on the finish. It's an 87 point wine for $17.00. Should be widely available even in grocery stores which is where I got this one.

2005 Phelan Segur St. Estephe.  Great vintage for Bordeaux.  St. Estephe is a Cabernet based appellation.  Very tannic and structured.  Wine was great.  Could use many more years in the bottle.  Ten years would be great.  Wish I had bought more.  I think I bought only three bottles.  If you want something to cut through the fat of rib eye--this is your wine.

I had that wine, although a different vintage, a few years ago when I bought Bordeaux futures. It was excellent. I've only bought futures one time and it worked out well.

I gave up my subscription to WS a few years ago but still like to check it out from time to time.  I was in a book store yesterday (remember them) and picked up both WS and WE's year end top 100.  I was pleasantly suprised to see how few real expensive wines there were.  I think WS only had one or two over $100 and not crazy over priced bordeauxs or burgs.

Have you ever been able to actually purchase the wines on that list? Only a couple of times have I been able to find anything in the top 100.

I have picked up several including a few #1s I think.  I know i have gotten several top tens.  I think from a quick list there should be quite a few available.  I think they made a lot of the #1.  You can find it on the interwebs but people have gone nuts with the price since it was #1..  Heck Cloudy Bay Sauv Blanc was # 29.  I can buy that stuff by the truckload.  Only three of the top 100 were over $100 and none over $200.00

I guess I need to print the list and go looking. Not that the list is the definitive word, but I would still like to drink what supposed experts consider to be the best wines in the world.
