Wine Thread

[mrtr33]

I know there are other threads that talk about wine, but they seem to be more concerned about pairing wine with cigars. That's not the purpose of this thread. Much like it's cousin, the "Beer Thread", the purpose of this thread is to share great bottles/vintages of wine we've enjoyed lately.

We drink probably 2-3 bottles of wine a week. In the past few months, a few notable wines come to mind.....

B.R. Cohn Cabernet Sauvignon
Stag's Leap Merlot 2008
4 Vines Zinfandel
Duck Duck Goose Shiraz/Cab

Had a great Mogen David 2010 a couple of weeks ago.

Had a great Mogen David 2010 a couple of weeks ago.

Same here, a fine bottle of Mogen David blackberry wine. Man this stuff was good. Paired it with a couple of Munniemaker Longs and made for a nice spring afternoon.

Yesterday, after being on a waiting list since 2008 I was finally offered an allocation of Kosta Browne's appelation wines. Late next month I should receive some 2009 Sonoma Coast and some 2009 Russian River Valley. I am pumped!

For those not in the loop or too lazy to google, Kosta Browne produces only pinot noir. IMO they make some of the best non-Burgundian pinot in the world.

I am unfamiliar with Kosta Browne - it's a bit out of my price range, judging from a quick google search. One of my favorite, er, "economical" Pinot's is from Mark West. I do know the Willamette Valley in central/western Oregon produces some great Pinot's as well.

Wheelhouse 2007 Cabernet (Napa)

Medium to full body, tannins not too harsh, smokey oak. Not bad at all.

Michael-David Petite Petit 2008

85% Petite Syrah
15% Petit Verdot

Fruity. Dark and rich. Full body. Look out - 15% alcohol by volume!

What I can not believe is CC has not added to this thread. I am not much of a drinker period but I had a few glasses of a Riesling called feet.
I know it's a cheap wine, but at least I can drink it. I do not like most wines.
