Ever wonder what goes into creating the Top 100 wines? I’m not sure either, but in my mind it goes something like this:
WS- “Is Excel open?”
Igor- “Yes, master.”
WS- “Are the columns for wine, score, and price-to-value ratio set up?”
Igor- “Yes, master!”
WS- “Perfect! Now arrange the value ratio column in descending order, but make sure no liquor store can get their hands on anything in the top ten! GO!”
Igor- “Yes, master!”
WS- “Ah-ha, we have our list! Now spread the good news!”
That’s just how I imagine it playing out. Then again, I’m pretty sure picking names out of a hat would work as effectively. But, for those that do take the Top 100 seriously, here are a few wines that are still around that made the list.
