Mssr. Dr. Weingolb gets the prize for most correct. Marcus guessed hypothesized correctly on 14 of the 19 wines' origins.
Coming in at 2nd place is Neil D. of a Brooklynguy's Wine and Food Blog. Neil named 13 of 19 origins correctly.
Others showing strongly were Chad B. of Bottle Room (9 of 19), Tim of Winecast (8 of 19) and Andrew of Spittoon (8 of 19).
Attention, Dr. Weingolb - tell us which award you preferl; supersecret mystery prize or book?
Thanks to all the participants. And to those WBW-regulars who didn't participate, I have one thing to say to you: "Thhhpphhhhht" (yes, that's a very rustic raspberry).

Thanks Beau!
...and the ones I got wrong I guessed (rather than hypothesized)!
This is really great! My delay in responding is justified. I was meeting Jancis Robinson in New York but shortly I'll be emailing you my details for the prize.
