Wine Enthusiast - WA Best Buys

Wine Enthusiast Best Buys – Great Wines Under $15
(November 15th, 2007)
“Our editors’ selection of the most value-able players in the wine world.”

A couple Washington wines made the Best Buy list this year from Wine Enthusiast. There probably should have been more, but hey not everyone can grasp the quality that WA provides at a very fair price.

90 pts. – Gordon Brothers 2006 Chardonnay, Columbia Valley ($15)
87 pts. – Columbia Crest 2006 Grand Estates Sauvignon Blanc, Columbia Valley ($11)

A Special Bulletin from Paul Gregutt:
Pacific Northwest: Washington State, in particular, has many wineries producing value wines in significant quantities. White wines especially offer both quality and value. Rieslings, Sauvignon Blancs, Gewurztraminers and even Chardonnays, when made in a crisp, fruit- and acid-driven style, deliver impactful flavors. For value reds stick with Merlots and Cabernets.

How do the Wine Scores equate to each other?

Different people like to rate wines in different ways, and we aim to please. So we give you 2 options.

You can rate wine on a scale of 0-5 Glasses, or for finer detail, you can rate wine on a 100 point scale.

We do the conversion for you so all Wine Ratings display both values. The table below shows you the conversion:

= 50 points or less.
= 51 - 57 points.
= 58 - 62 points.
= 63 - 67 points.
= 68 - 72 points.
= 73 - 77 points.
= 78 - 82 points.
= 83 - 87 points.
= 88 - 92 points.
= 93 - 96 points.
= 97 - 100 points
