Food & Wine's 100 Wines
Ray Isle at Food & Wine Magazine has come up with a list of 100 wines to try right now and I thought I’d take a run through the list and see where Ray and I agree, and if we disagree.
With 12 categories of wines to choose from, there were certainly a lot of wines to run through, not to mention a wine for every palate - and pocketbook. Ray has put together a solid list. Though there were some wines I personally would avoid, there was a definite winner in every category. Check out my favorites!

Couldn't agree more with the Dry Creek Chenin Blanc. Its a staple at our house too as its such a food friendly wine, regardless of the season.

Not bad I suppose but I have only heard of about three of the wines picked-
They should factor in how many of these are readily available in other parts of the world- there are wine drinkers outside the US- What happened to Rhone and Midi- and Spain

Hello. You wrote these wines have been chosen as "top" ones in twelve categories, but you don't mention what these categories are. Can you share the secret, please?

We'd love to try 100 wines right now.
Just seems like a lot to open at once...

@Zag Byson - If you click into each slide, you'll see the category listed right below the name of the wine (ie: F&W Amazing Value Wines; Smart Wine Splurges; etc.). Hope that helps!

Ah, I see... I expected something like "Fortified wines", "New World Reds". :-)
Thank you.
