Cans, you obviously believe that competitions guide us toward the so-called "best" wines. In my view, the only way a consumer gets to know which wines are "the best" is by tasting and determining which ones appeal to him or her.

Competitions should NEVER be considered a statement of the best wine, but rather a statement of competitive among its peers. There are so many variables in wine drinking and appreciation that the word "best," with regard to competitions, is at best a marketing term.
