The Wine Spectator February issue is titled, “Ultimate Buying Guide”.  This is a recap of the 16,000 wines they tasted during the year.  For a Finance guy turned wine shop owner, this issue provided lots of data to analyze.  Of course, it is most relevant to try to tie their information into what’s happening at our shop.  Well, here’s what I found interesting, with the Wine Spectator stat followed by our Kelley Cellars (KC) stat: 1)      % of wines rated over 95 was 2%: KC 2% 2)      % of wines rated over 90 was 26%: KC 36% 3)      % of wines 85-89 points was 48%: KC 63% 4)      % of wines rated below 85 was 26%: KC < 1% 5)      Average cost of wines 90+ was $67: KC $36 What do these scores really mean?   Well, they are an indicator,  just like grades are an indicator in school.  Wines rated 85 or better are typically very good.   The comparisons above are very exciting to us, because we taste a couple of thousand wines per year ourselves.  Our goals include having all wines 85 points or better, combined with the best prices at their relative quality levels, and at least 125 wines priced below $15.  Among the best compliments we receive is, “you can’t buy a bad bottle in your shop”.  We’ll keep tasting and working hard to make sure that is always true.

Nothing like a trip to Tuscany to kick off your Summer! A group of sixteen of us did a tour of the Chianti Classico, Montalcino, and Bolgheri areas of Tuscany.  What a great way to enjoy friends and have the best food and wine imaginable!  Come in and see the Bob Placko “Top Ten” memorable moments from the Kelley Cellars invasion of Tuscany trip!
