Breaking News: Wine Spectator 2010 Bordeaux Scores Out...99 Point Wines!

Good Morning,

Yesterday afternoon the Wine Spectator Advance was released and dedicated to 2010 Bordeaux!

Great timing as many of you have just had a chance to taste a great representation of the vintage at our Grand Bordeaux Tasting with the member of the UGC. You know from that tasting that the 2010 vintage is something special and unique.

The Wine Spectator, with the release of these scores in the Advance and the two features on their website, clearly is of the opinion that 2010 is a great vintage. Here is an update on the final scores from the Wine Spectator. First up are two exceptional values that are under $25 per bottle!

Following these two steals from Bordeaux are the wines that Wine Spectator has just called "collectibles" and rated 98 or 99 points!

Enjoy,
Jeff
