Domaine Zind-Humbrecht TOP 100 WINERIES OF 2016 EUROPE AND SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE Great wine knows no boundaries. It can come from a plot in Burgundy that's been famed for hundreds of years, or a patch of ground in Australia too rocky to support any plants other than grapevines. But when vines find the right home, and the right people to tend them, the wine they grow makes a lasting impression. We hope for these moments in our blind tastings, and our Top 100 wineries are the ones that consistently delivered them, with at 56 WINE & SPIRITS BUYING GUIDE 2017 least three high scores for their new releases over the last 12 months. We profile the Top 100 contingent from Europe first, followed by producers from the Southern Hemisphere. Joshua Greene, Caitlin Griffith, Stephanie Johnson, Patricio Tapia and Tara Q. Thomas provide the details on what sets these wineries apart.
