Have a drink with us!
We worked with participating wineries to build session themes around top-scoring wines with enough availability that participants might have a chance of sourcing them. Some are available through wine.com, others direct from the wineries and all may be available in the general market.
Due to variations in distribution for all 50 states, availability and vintages may vary.
