SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Wine & Spirits Magazine announces the Top 100 Wineries of 2017, profiled in the Annual Buying Guide published today. The print edition serves as a program for Wine & Spirits 14th Annual Top 100 event on Tuesday, October 10th, at City View at METREON in San Francisco. The tasting—a benefit for San Francisco Baykeeper—will honor the year’s Top 100 Wineries, including an unprecedented 30 new wineries to earn the award this year. In addition to the Top 100 Wineries pouring at the event, there will be food pairings from more than 20 of San Francisco’s best restaurants and food purveyors.
“Our team and many of our friends in the wine industry look forward to the Top 100 as one of the great nights of the year,” says Joshua Greene, editor and publisher of Wine & Spirits. magazine. “Our editors have organized panels of sommeliers and retailers to taste more than 15,000 wines with us, blind, and recommend the most compelling examples from every corner of the wine world. Our editors consistently rated certain producers highly, and we have chosen those 100 wineries to profile in our Annual Buying Guide and to pour at our Top 100 event. They are part of a very tight competitive set, and one thing they all share in common is a commitment to the place where their wines grow. Their wines are more delicious for it.”
In addition to this year’s festivities is the first annual Sparkling Kickoff on October 9th from 7:00-9:00 pm at 1760. This event is exclusive to VIP ticket holders, Top 100 winemakers, and select guests to celebrate the great work put out by these winemakers and their teams. Louis Roederer, Iron Horse, and Movia, all Top 100 Wineries of 2017, will be pouring their sparkling wines.
