Best of THe Best
Amazingly, there are only a few that do not rise at least to the level of “GOOD” in the eyes of our merry band of connoisseurs. Many more are viewed as “VERY GOOD” and some even flirt with greatness with a VERY GOOD/EXCELLENT rating. But, “EXCELLENT” is not a word we use often. May you enjoy the following, and then drink all the rest and tell us we’re wrong.
