Top 20 Wines of 2014

In 2014 I struggled with the desire to write about my wine experiences for personal reasons that I will keep to myself.  As usual it was a great year with many many great bottles.  I hope that every bottle from my own collection gave my friends a great feeling inside when tasting them.  Lord only knows that their bottles did that for me. 

I am not attaching any reviews of the wines I tasted.  I am only giving the order.  I am officially retired from writing with but

1 exception which I will release January 1^st 2016. 

I hope that my reviews or “short stories” as I see them have given a small glimpse into my life.  I hope that anybody that has read my stories in the past gets a strong desire to taste & love wine like me.  Wine tasting will always remain a daily to weekly thing for me.  That is, until a doctor tells me I can’t have another drop. Then & only then I will retire for good.  So without any further waiting, I finally give you my 2014 top 19 wines. (#20 was a beer)~  Yep you heard me right, a beer!
