\"\"As some of you know, I also operate the irreverent wine blog Winepisser.com<\/a>, which revels in reviews of bad wines, but which also gives out an annual award to the one wine that ranked highest of those tasted in a given year.<\/p>\n

The annual awards only started in November 2015, a year that didn’t see much competition because the site opened so late in the year. As a result, a red blend from Apothic won the first-ever Winepisser Best Wine award. In 2016, there was were many more wines tasted, and so the competition was much fiercer, but in the end a fantastic Tannat from Uruguay was granted what’s become known as the cincoestrellas<\/em>, or “cinco.”<\/p>\n

This year, the five-star finalists were a mix of reds and whites, with one dessert wine thrown in, and to a lot of people’s surprise the dessert wine won out. The Best Wine Award 2017 was given to Bodegas Alvear’s Pedro Ximenez de Anada 2014. For a dessert wine to beat out some of the fantastic finalist wines (including the wonderful Protos and Structura\u00a0Tempranillos, and a wonderful German Riesling), you know it has to be good.<\/p>\n
