DRINK GREAT WINES!

You may not know me, but I know you if you’re reading this wine list. You enjoy drinking wine, and you are looking for a great glass or bottle to enjoy now, or later onboard. Let’s work together to make it happen!

I have been a wine critic for almost four decades, first at The Wine Spectator magazine and now with my own media company JamesSuckling.com, and I have tasted close to 200,000 wines in my career. Each year I taste with my team more than 25,000 wines from all the best countries and regions from Australia to Chile to California to Washington. So many outstanding wines are out there for you. Some are on this list. Remember I rate wine according to a 100-points scale: 95 and above, truly great; 90 to 94, outstanding, and then the rest. All the wines on the list (unless otherwise noted) have consistently scored 90 points or above in recent vintages, wines of outstanding quality or more. And the Rockstar selection is wines that I rated 95 points or more. Every bottle is selected for its high quality and drinkability.

Cruising on Holland America Line is a life enhancing moment that deserves an outstanding glass of wine. Relax. Sip. And enjoy the moment.
