Hey everyone - the list has been out more than a month, we suppose, and the Wine Spectator produces one every January.
It's always fun to see if there's more than 2 or 3 wines on it that are available in markets other than NYC & SF.
So this year, there's a bunch available in SC, (our list of wine suppliers is not too shabby) but one surprise is #55 Il Fauno. Naturally, as these things usually go, it's the 2010, which was sold out before the list was published, of course.
But this Tuscan producer, owned by the iconic Jackson family in California, has been consistently making this awesome wine for years. We've still got a few 2007 bottles. The percentage of merlot changes a bit from year to year, but the quality is always first rate. As is the 2011, the current release, it's blended with both cab varietels for a soft, smooth, delicious wine.
Stop in and taste this wonderful wine ! $25/bottle
Also making a great showing at #47 is the 2014 Brocard Chablis St. Claire, a little $22 gem.
You go, Jean-Marc, 91 points!
