That’s right….Wine Enthusiast has come out with it’s Top 100 Wines of the Year, and topping the list is this Pinot from the Santa Maria Valley. It is an amazing wine, and drinks like a Pinot 2-3 times it’s price! Their Chardonnay from Katherine’s Vineyard is also excellent, which I have mentioned in the past as well. (Check out my posts on what kind of wine to bring to a friend’s house and PF Changs).

You can find this Pinot for under $20 at a lot of wine shops. If you want to get it online, JJ Buckley has it at a very good price. Below is the link, and if you call and ask for Alex Shaw (a former Westchester wine guy as well) I am sure he can help you out. Tell him I sent ya…..
