I believe long form editorial provides the best format for giving clarity and context to readers, as well as for me to express the nuance behind this massive subject. That being said, building wine lists is a lot of fun. It forces me to come off the fence, to be more analytical, and difficult though it often is, makes me support one wine over another. Lists are also a fantastic resource for consumers, helping them to discover new producers, wines, grapes and regions. Ultimately, that is what this site is for. So, here is my growing collection of lists. Packed with insight, opinion and hopefully, some inspiration for finding your next favourite wine.
