Reacting & Tasting WINE SPECTATOR Top 10 Wines of 2023

In this video I react and TASTE the top 10 wines from Wine Spectator’s Top 100 list of 2023. Surprisingly, just a few hours after the reveal, some of the Top 10 wines were no longer available in wine shops. To my knowledge, no other wine publication has the ability to clear shelves so quickly with their gold and platinum medals. So I was really curious to taste these wines myself. Some of the WINE ACCESSORIES I use regularly: 🥂 Riedel Veritas Champagne Wine Glass: 🍷 Riedel Veritas Old World Syrah Glass: 🥂 Riedel Veritas New World Pinot Noir Glass: 🍾 Cork puller: 🍾 The Durand cork puller: 🏳️ Riedel Polishing Cloth: 🧳 Wine travel protector: 🗜️ CORAVIN and its accessories: Coravin Timeless Six Wine Preservation System: Coravin Timeless 3-Needle Kit: Coravin Argon Gas Capsules: Coravin Screw Caps: 📚 Some of my favorite WINE BOOKS: 📓 Flawless: Understanding Faults in Wine by Jamie Goode: 📒 Understanding Wine Technology: The Science of Wine Explained by David Bird: 📕 Authentic Wine: Toward Natural and Sustainable Winemaking (by Jamie Goode): 📘 The Oxford Companion to Wine (by Jancis Robinson): 📙Wine Grapes: A Complete Guide to 1,368 Vine Varieties, Including Their Origins and Flavours (by Jancis Robinson, Julia Harding and Jose Vouillamoz): 📗 A Life Uncorked (by Hugh Johnson): 📓 Drinking with the Valkyries (by Andrew Jefford): As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. **THE 10 POINT SCALE EXPLAIND: 10 - Exceptional wine (98 - 100 points equivalent) 9 - Excellent wine (90 - 97 points equivalent) 8 - Great wine (85 - 90 points equivalent) 7 - Good wine (81 - 84 points equivalent) 6 - Fairly good wine (77 - 80 points equivalent) 5 - Wine of no character or appeal (71 - 76 points equivalent) Below 5 - Bad or faulty wine (50-70 equivalent) **CONTENTS OF THIS VIDEO: 0:00 Introduction 1:42 Wine 10 4:27 Wine 9 5:45 Wine 8 8:42 Wine 7 11:24 Wine 6 12:18 Wine 5 13:26 Wine 4 14:19 Wine 3 16:36 Wine 2 19:02 Wine 1 21:56 My final thoughts #winespectator #wineeducation #wine Be sure to subscribe to my channel, as I am posting weekly videos on all things wine and monthly episodes of wine podcast. **FOLLOW ME: Instagram: Twitter:
