Wine Spectator Top 10 of 2024

Wine Spectator TOP 10 of 2024

Every November, Wine Spectator releases their Top 100 Wines of the current year (wines they've reviewed in the current year, not wines of the current vintage).  As luck would have it, Holiday Wine Cellar (HWC) has FIVE of the Top 10 Wine Spectator wines in stock. All five wines are available for guests to TRY-BEFORE-YOU-BUY at the self-serve wine bar (as of 1-28-25).

#10: Ramey 2022 Russian River Valley Chardonnay

(!!) Don Melchor 2021 Puente Alto Vineyard Puente Alto Cabernet Sauvignon is LIMIT ONE (1) per family, and no, the family dog can't buy one.
