Re: Wine

Been a good weekend for wine.

Fri - nice lighter bodied beaujolais (can't remember the name unfortunately)
Sat - '97 penfolds 389 (cab shiraz) full bodied, good amount of rich, ripe fruit, with plenty of oak & tannin on the finish, though lacking the huge amount of complexity the '96 has.
Sun - '97 & '98 penfolds 389, with the '98 having a bit more complexity.

Anything without Sulfites which for us in the USA is near impossible due to some stupid law I think

Re: Wine

Trader Joe's 2007 Sonoma County Reserve Zinfandel is ace.

I've been getting into zinfandel a LOT. I can't figure why anyone would prefer merlot or cabernet over zin.

same for pinot noir. also really wonderful, but rarely hear anyone talk about it...

Re: Wine



This was Wine Spectators wine of the year for 2009 and rated 95 points out of 100. It's not bad and a steal at about 30 dollars a bottle.

Re: Wine

I picked this up at a local Meijer for 6 or 7 dollars. I'm not that knowledgeable on wine, but have found out I like the Cabernet Sauvignon grape paring.

Re: Wine

I am drinking this tonight, not the best choice but I don't have a lot of options in Shanghai.

Re: Wine

should we start a separate thread for wine bottles under $10/bottle. I'm all into trying inexpensive but very good tasting wines.

I generally buy at the EUR 10 mark, but can hit EUR 20 for the right occasion

Re: Wine

Never heard of it before... I´ll do my best trying to put my hands on that one but not sure if it´s even available here in Buenos Aires..

If not, i´ll drink some Merlot this weekend though..
