“Reading these great collections cloistered away in cellars across the globe is a timely reminder of wine’s ability to cross cultures and languages,” says judge Stephen Wong MW.

“Importantly, these top-tier lists are far from homogenous. In fact, masterful strokes of individuality and expression are on abundant display, and the winners celebrate both the diversity and collective creativity of our community ... It was a humbling experience to vote on these masterful lists and it gives me hope for the future of our craft.”
