The Top Ten Wines tasted year is a list of the best wines in my glass, or should I say on my palate, with the most important moments that were created with special wines, people and memories.

#4 – Open some of the oldest wines in my cellar. I do not want to get to the stage where my oldest bottles are too old to taste. Or worse, I am too old to taste them.

The best value wines are those that offer true character, style and pleasure with the ability to age and evolve. Plus they sell at a price most wine lovers can afford.

The top ten wines of 2013, took numerous factors into consideration. Of course the best bottles delivering sublime tasting experiences made the list. But there had to be more than just quality to make the top ten. Each wine and memory needed to capture a moment that stood out, above all the other experiences from the year.
