Hello everyone,

After reading all of your responses to the VinoCellar Top 5 criteria, we have come up with the instructions for participation. We weighed all of the comments from you and have come up with the following criteria for our 2 lists, the Quality List and the QPR List:

Quality List : The only qualification is that the wine be released in 2002. Neither production level nor price should be used as a factor in your decision.

QPR List : The only qualification is that the wine be released in 2002. Any formula you see fit to use in order to determine Quality/Price Ratio is permitted. Case production should not factor in your decision.

So now all you need to do is make your choices.Private message your Top 5 Quality list and your Top 5 QPR list to either j_b or VCA_Revlis.Do NOT post them here . The deadline for entries is Fri. Dec. 27th. The VinoCellar Top 5 lists will be published on the Home Page on Mon Dec. 30th. In addition, we will show you a few of your favorite posters' personal lists, in case you want to pick up some of their recommendations. So go ahead and scan your TN's for the year 2002. We can't wait to see what you decide!
