First off, this is not the largest roundup I have written – there is a larger one from October 2021. Sadly, that one only had 6 QPR WINNERs. My last QPR post had a lot of wines as well, and it had 19 QPR WINNERs!

Also, we have a shockingly high number/percentage of EVEN QPR score wines, 26 to be exact. Either the price or the quality pushed them to this level. So, without further ado, the 50 wines I tasted over the past few months.

QPR (Quality to Price Ratio) Wines

It has been seven months since my last QPR (Quality to Price Ratio) post and many people have been emailing me about some unique wines I have tasted and some lovely wines that are worth writing about.

Thankfully, no matter how much garbage and pain I subject myself to, we are still blessed with several wonderful QPR wines out there. This post differs though, as we are back to having a large number of POOR/BAD/N.A. QPR wines. We have 12 QPR WINNER scores and 14 GOOD/GREAT scores. The rest, 24 out of the 50 wines tasted here fall into the EVEN/POOR/BAD/N.A. categories, which is unfortunate.

We have a SOLID list of QPR WINNERS:

1. 2019 Chateau Teyssier, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru – Stunning wine especially for the price some of us paid, not yet available
2. 2019 Tenuta Monchiero Barolo, Barolo _ lovely wine!
3. 2021 Castellare di Castellina Chianti Classico
4. 2021 Chateau Montviel, Pomerol – One of the two best mid-range Bordeaux
5. 2022 ESSA Cabernet Franc, Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge
6. 2023 Baron Edmond de Rothschild Rimapere, Marlborough
