Žurnalo Wine Spectator geriausių šių metų vynų 100-uko rinkimai yra ypatingas įvykis vyno pasaulyje. Į jį atsižvelgia vyno kritikai, restoranai, importuotojai ir net gamintojai. Kita vertus, šis 100-ukas yra to žurnalo profesonalių ir garsių vyno apžvalgininkų mėgstamiausi vynai. Tai išties puikūs pasirinkimai, tačiau neverta pamiršti, kad šimtą kart daugiau lygiai tiek pat nuostabių vynų liko "už borto". Liūdėti neverta. Jie ten (o kartais ir čia, Lietuvoje), laukia mūsų gomurių bei piniginių. Žemiau rasite visą WS Top 100. Jame, beje, vyravo Shyrah/Shiraz vynuogių ir Kalifornijos vynai.
