WS try's very hard to find a mixture of wines for the top 100 list. The Top 10 wines, almost impossible to find for the most part (before or after) as they are usually made in small lots or available only by allocation list to club members etc. I remember when WS named the 2005 Columbia Crest Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon #1 back in 2009. That was a pretty easy wine to find when originally released but that wine was released either in 2007 or 2008 and long gone at the winery and any higher end wine shops that stocked them when it won. They had plenty of the 2006 version however and those still disappeared fast. The wines that had large production numbers will be pretty easy to find still but those with small numbers will sell out overnight. If you see something you are interested in picking up you should snag it quickly as a general rule. Being on the list almost anywhere means it will be a complete sellout for the most part within days or weeks.
