Vancouver Magazine Wine Awards 2010
published Jan 1, 2010
Our expert panel of 15 judges spent three days sipping, swirling, and heatedly debating the merits of over 800 entries, until they finally arrived at the top 100 best-value wines
The Process
Wines were tasted blind on a like-with-like basis. Our judges were divided into three mini-panels. Flights of wine were organized by style and price. Winners were chosen by consensus among the judges, who collectively decided which wines represented the best values. The mini-panels then united for the final playoff among all the category winners, at which the Beronia Rioja Reserva 2004 was voted Best in Show.
Many bottles are widely available from B.C. LDB stores. This symbol ★ indicates a restricted listing (bottles that are available only from private wine stores and winery shops). For a list of private wine stores carrying these wines, click here.

Thank for the information. Actually my family and I already went to some of your place there, and it was really impressive! I am planning to go back there soon maybe right just after the Lenten season. Since people in New Orleans were going crazy bout the recent Mardi gras, I decided to spend it in Vancouver.Worth getting some faxless payday loans to make it real for the second time!
