“Our Top 100 event went virtual last year and though we loved sharing the work of these great producers with an international audience, we missed the annual celebration with friends in San Francisco. We’re excited to be coming back!” Publisher Joshua Greene
NEW YORK (PRWEB) August 18, 2021
Wine & Spirits Magazine announces the Top 100 Wineries of 2021, showcased in the 35th Annual Buying Guide to be published Tuesday, October 12, 2021. Every year, Wine & Spirits tastes thousands of wines through an exclusive blind tasting process and, from those tastings, the editors select the Top 100 Wineries of the year. From Burgundy in the center of France to Margaret River in Western Australia, these awards call out remarkable portfolios of wines.
A selection of the Top 100 Wineries will be showcased at the 18th Annual Top 100 Tasting Event on Thursday October 14th at City View at METREON in San Francisco. Along with some of the best wines from around the globe, there will be small bites served by exceptional local restaurants and purveyors.
“Our Top 100 event went virtual last year,” says Publisher Joshua Greene, “and though we loved sharing the work of these great producers with an international audience, we missed the annual celebration with friends in San Francisco. We’re excited to be coming back!”
Wine & Spirits will endeavor to make the Top 100 Tasting as safe as possible for everyone involved. All attendees will be required to provide proof of vaccination; there will be temperature checks at check-in, tables distanced in the ample indoor/outdoor event space, attendance limits and safety measures enforced at the event. The production team will closely monitor the local public-health situation in the lead-up to the event.
Tickets to the Top 100 will be available for purchase Tuesday, August 24, 2021. Proceeds benefit SF Baykeeper, an advocate for clean water in the local watershed, including the north coast vinelands. Tickets will be available at wineandspiritsmagazine.com/top100tasting, and include a one-year subscription to the publication.
