He has rated more than 200,000 wines in his career and annually reviews more than 7,000 wines from key wine regions in France, Italy, Spain, Argentina, Chile, California, and Germany, even Thailand. He rates the wines on a 100-point system: 95 points or more, fantastic quality; 90 points or more, outstanding quality, and 85 points or more, very good quality. All wines featured on this list received a score of a minimum of 90 points and represent a very personal selection of wines that James enjoys drinking on his visits to The Nai Harn. Instead of using traditional categories for wines in the list, James has organized them by style and usage, whether it s a fresh and crisp Thai Colombard for the pool or a structured red Bordeaux at dinner.
