WS top 100

[Dr Vino]

I guess the WS annual top 100 list is out--I just got three emails from wine retailers touting their availability of wines from the list. While I haven't seen the whole list, I was interested to see from one retailer that Beaux Freres 2003 Pinot Noir, partially owned by Robert Parker, was #17.

The big question: will Bob use a WS score to promote the wine?!?!?
