This year my group and I tasted close to 1300 wines. We tasted, smelled, and swished a boatload of wines, so to come up with our “own” Top 25 wines that are “the greatest” is not easy. But as always, we try to do our best! My group of 13 wine swishers,  smellers, evaluators, and my friends of Bacchus carefully assessed the wines and came up with the following final list!
