Wine Scores

At large walk-around tastings such as these, my goal is to taste widely, and as such I record only scores, not tasting notes. These wines were tasted rapidly over the course of a couple of hours. While I am quite confident about my quality judgments, knowing the circumstances under which these scores were recorded, you may consider taking the ratings with a grain of salt.

I have linked the top-scoring wines to Wine Searcher (when results are available) to facilitate searching and purchase of these wines. The prices listed were provided by the wineries, which means you can usually find these wines at retail for slightly less.
