Wine Thread

I generally don't spend any more than $20 on a bottle of wine. I don't know that I have the experience or the palette to appreciate spending any more than that.

Last night I had a bottle of Ghost Pines Cabernet. I like to try different wines but I always go back to the Ghost Pines.

Generally speaking, I'm right there with you. There are occasions, or circumstances, that dictate otherwise. But generally, all the wines I mention in this thread fall in that price range.

For example, that Bull's Blood of Eger is about $3. Maybe $4, I'm not sure. It's definitely my go-to wine, though my wife doesn't like it all that much.

Some weeks ago, my good friend came from England and he brought a bottle of the French wine - J. Vidal-Fleury Muscat de Beaumes de Venise,2008...I'm not an expert in wine or its lover, but this muscat was really good =)

Cupcake Cab Sauv. - it had been opened a few hours prior to drinking, so it had calmed down considerably - very light, but not bad

Some crazy Cabernet Franc I wasn't excited about

Brazin Old Vine Zinfandel - 2006 from Lodi. Absolutely amazing. A little on the higher side for me (~18), but fabulous.

Charles Shaw Shiraz

R-something, like "Rosso", chianti and J. Lohr cabernet. The chianti was better with the food, the cab would have been better by itself. The chianti was dry, the cab was sweet, oaky, and spicy like a shiraz. Almost too much so.

Rosso - that's not the Francis Ford Coppola wine, is it? I think that whole line is just okay - definitely not worth the price point.

This past weekend was:

Strong Arms Shiraz
Red Splash (something). I think it was just a red wine blend.
