Who made the cut for best wines of 2017?

Another best of 2017 list is out - this time it's the best wines of 2017 from Tastings.com.

Tastings.com is the official website of the Beverage Testing Institute. They taste a lot of wine, and are also known for the famous World Beer Championships. I'll talk about the best beers and booze in another post, promised.

So who made the cut?

There were a lot of wines chosen, but we'll just take a look at the best overall, rather than varietal specific.
