Our sixth annual class on the year’s best wines. Wine Spectator published its top 100 list in November, and wines on that list start to jump. It’s not uncommon for wines at the top of the list to double in value. Bully for them.

We wait until January to get the final votes into our own list of the Greatest Wines of 2017. We like to make sure we taste every possible awesome wine , and we need those extra months. Our list is based on the tasting notes of our top three Sommelier-Instructors and their Advanced students. After sampling over 2K of the best-of-the-best wines in 2015, the wines in this class are our very favorite wines. If you want a fun class in which you taste the greatest wines of 2017, this is a no-brainer. We feature wines at every price point, from amazing values to extraordinary splurges.
