Wine Spectator雜誌1998年百大好酒

紅酒方面，由於大部份的1995波爾多好酒都在去年上市，而1995 的波爾多天候極佳、酒做的也實在很好，因此有多支在紅酒類上榜，不過價格已比當初的預售價暴漲許多；除了'95的五大酒莊已在國內上市多時外，排名第一的'95 Ducru- Beaucaillou、排名第四的'95 Clerc Milon、排名第六的'95 Calon-Segur、排 名第十二的'95 Trotanoy、排名第十五的'95 Pontet-Canet等波爾多好酒在台北 也看得到，雖然都不便宜，但若與美國價格相較，倒也並不算貴；'95年份Clerc Milon、Calon-Segur、Pontet-Canet我在台北看到的價格都在NT$2000-2300左右 ，'95 的Trotanoy、Ducru-Beaucaillou也已從NT$二千多漲到三千四左右。一些 進榜的加州好酒如排名第九的Beringer Private Reserve、排名第十一的Groth Reserve、排名第十七的Robert Mondavi Reserve，國內也都有售，價格約與美金 價差不多。倒是榜上一些十幾二十塊美元的紅酒在國內芳蹤杳然，價格在台幣千元以內的只有兩支我在台北買到過，一支是排名第五十的Columbia 1995 Syrah Red Willow ，前一陣子仁愛遠東還在特價NT$499，目前已恢復回訂價NT$790；此酒在國內雖有爭議，有網友在遠東愛買百貨買到保存不當的酒，不過小弟我比較幸運，當時買的六瓶已喝了三瓶，都沒問題。另一支是排名第四十五的Marimar Torres 1995 Pinot Noir，半年前我在餐會喝過就覺得不錯，前一陣子看到時買了二瓶，記得一瓶訂價是NT$1050元；不過此酒的風味與Sanford 1995 Pinot Noir以及Byron 1995 Pinot Noir(去年入選1997百大好酒)非常類似，後兩支也都是90分與"Spectator Selection" 首選，國內一般零售價約NT$700-900(看你跟店長的交情而定)，一樣好喝；不過各位一定要記得用大杯子喝，最好是大肚杯，不然口感雖好，但香氣會差很多。

白酒方面可說是1996年份的Chablis獨領風騷，第一、第四、第十都是Chablis， 不過在國內我還不曾看到過。第三名的Leflaive 1995 Puligny-Montrachet Clavoillon易元、誠品與亞瑟頓都有賣，不過價格有一段差距，可貨比三家。第二名的Beringer 1996 Chardonnay Private Reserve易元有賣，不過訂價NT$1600，並不便宜。第十七名的Simi 1995 Chardonnay Sonoma County Reserve國內零售約NT$1200，也是還好。第二十三名的紐西蘭名酒Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough 1997雖然美金價格不高(US$17)，但國內要賣到NT$1000 以上，有點不划算，且此酒我喝過二次，個人覺得只是還好，不如它的'98那麼香氣撲鼻。40支白酒中我在國內看到過、且國內售價最便宜的應是第四十名的Pascal Jolivet 1996 Sancerre，此酒'95年份也入選去年的1997 Top 100，亞舍'95/'96都是賣NT$600左右，算是合理；'95/'96我都喝過，幾無軒輊，與'95/'96 Pouilly-Fume的風味也是非常雷同；不過這種盧瓦河上游產區的干白酒酸度極高且非常冷峻，不是每位酒友都能夠體會它的美。

甜酒方面的冠軍Domaine des Baumard 1996 Quarts de Chaume我喝過二次，感覺好得不得了；亞瑟頓有進過一些，一瓶賣一千多塊台幣，不過早已賣光。以下是百大的酒款，細節可至 www.winespectator.com的Library查閱:
