Have Some Wine, Help the Economy


I wouldn’t consider myself a wine connoisseur, but I do enjoy an occasional glass of vino. Last night I sipped on some California red. This led me to wonder, "What is the big fuss over imported wine?"

Turns out I’m not alone. Wine website wineography.com’s Top 10 Wine List, includes 5 wines from the United States.

In Top Wine List
The top wine list shows the top 10 wines in Wineography's system. This list is made up from the ratings in the members' online tasting notes.
