Re: The Wine Thread
What’s a good sub $25 readily available very dry red to take out to dinner (Italian, prefer not an Italian wine tho haven’t had any that impressed me) full bodied, I normally drink either French Cotes du Rhone or CA/Washington Cabs. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!

Re: The Wine Thread
Where do you all get your wines?
I get mine mostly from wineries in the Carneros, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez, and Santa Cruz Mountains of California. Just because I get enough good wines from my tasting visits to keep my cellar full. We also subscribe to the Naked Wines Club, which is hit or miss sometimes but well worth it. We get to try wines from everywhere and some are on the "keep buying" list. There are some very good port wines there too. There are some good wines in the Gold Country here as well. We are going camping up there this coming week and are sure to bring some back. If I survive the dirt bike riding. F'n 40s year olds like to kick my ass. |

I frequent two local B&M's and sign up for their email first/only deals. They can sell a pallet of wine in a hour if priced right. I am one of those buyers. Wine auctions. They're not what they use to be, but there are still deals to be had. Need to be one step ahead of wine trends so you are bidding on wines that aren't as competitive. Fair amount of research on price and quality needs to be considered. Many pay more in auction than just buying it at the store. Online vendors. Handful of vendors I buy wine from and either ship right away or hold for cooler months to ship. Private party. "I know a guy, who knows a guy who has some wine..." I am all ears and can keep my mouth shut on the details... |

Had a couple bottles with a friend last night. 2014 Fritz Haag Riesling Kabinett and 2013 Quintarelli Rosso Ca’ del Merlo. Both really good. The Quintarelli took some time to open up. Lots of structure.

It’s been a while since I’ve had either Tawny or Ruby, every time this happens after I take my first sip I ask myself “why did I ever stop drinking this regularly!” |
