Sean Sullivan's Top 100 Washington Wines

Not too many surprises; here is the list.

Strange that the Figgins wine would rate so highly (it's a new label by the Leonetti's son). Odd, that Cayuse does not show up more frequently, although the No. 1 spot is pretty high praise.

Weird, that the list leaves out some pretty good labels: Cougar Crest, Basel, and many others. One cannot construct a Top 100 list without leaving out many, many great wines. That is the shortcoming of such lists. And the Quil Creek second-tier wines (Galatzine, Palengat), which score high 90's, as do many of the Cayuse wines, shouldn't be left off such lists, even if it is good to see some lesser names on it, such as Syzygy and Syncline.
