Tom's Top Wines - 2011!

Well, Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2011 has been announced, and frankly, I'm underwhelmed.
It did, however, have me reflect on the wines that most impressed me this year. So here's my top 10. All the wines are still available at The Market,  and they are not in any particular order. I hope you don't find this list as boring as I found Spectator's.

2009 Proyecto Grenache, $13 This is yummy versatile juice at a great price.
2009 Sean Minor Cabernet, $17  A 17 dollar Cab from Napa that drinks like $30+ Cabernet - Wow!
2009 Eric Kent Sarapo Chardonnay, $22  Like Rombauer only $10 cheaper.
2009 Herman Story On The Road Grenache, $43 - 93 Wine Advocate
2007 Big Basin Coastview Syrah, $49 - 93 Wine Advocate
2010 Siduri Sierra Mar Pinot Noir, $49 - 93-95 Wine Advocate  Best Pinot Noir I've had in a long time!
NV Pierre Peters Grand Cru Brut, $55 - 92 Wine Advocate  I rate this more like 94-95!
2004 Corte Pavone Brunello di Montalcino, $59 - 95 Wine Spectator
2008 Pahlmeyer Chardonnay, $67 - 95 Wine Advocate  Totally over the top and I loved it!
2009 Mollydooker The Velvet Glove Shiraz, $175 - 97+ Wine Advocate  A little slice of heaven in a glass of wine!
