3000 chardonnays later, here are the Top 50 so far

We’re entering the last lap of the show season with more than 24,000 scores from 37 shows in our system as of last night. With just one major capital city show to report we started wondering who was heading for the top of the chardonnay heap in 2016. We isolated more than 3000 ratings for this variety and thought Penfolds might have taken it out with the Reserve Bin A 2015. We were wrong. Here’s the Top 50 list:
