Thanks to the institute's website for the following quote: "The guest tasters that chose the top ten wines were as impressed as we were with the cream of the crop. Top Chicago sommelier, Robert Bansberg, from destination restaurant Ambria, said that it was a 'tough choice to pick favorites from this bunch. I frequently thought I was tasting wines priced at $20 or $30. I may even have to consider some of these for my list.' "
