Wine?

[LadyOhh]

I am a self-proclaimed wine connoisseur and I want to know if anyone out there has any suggestions?

Any specific wineries or vintages they want to share?

Bring it on, winos!!

Sorry, my wine adventures have been confined to homemade blackberry, lambrusco to wash down spaghetti, and Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill.

Ohh Heather You are so Fricking Lucky u live in California

Before i moved to US i wasn't big fan or red wines... Lucky for me my previous boss (restaurant owner) know a little bit about subject and I was lucky to discover wines like Shiraz or Red Zinfandel...

My favorite and affordable wines come from Michael~David Winery. They are located at 4580 West Highway 12 Lodi, CA 95242

6th Sense Syrah or 7 deadly Zins Red Zinfandel are excellent entry level wine...
7 Heavenly Chardonay is ok but I was drinking better ones..

Earthquake collection is excellent series of wines with price circulating around 30$ per bottle... Those are my favorites especially Petite Sirah

They make Blended series o wines named from individual sins like Gluttony Lust when they Combine California grapes with grapes importet from Europe and South America... Never tried but sounds Interesting...

Another wine what i really liked from that winery is called Windmill Estate Old Vine Zinfandel... not to expansive and really good too...

I hope I'll have chance to visit California one day and this winery will be must place for visit for me

I love Porto, i don't care it's not a fancy wine, but MAN, fairly cheap (~$20 a bottle), great tasting (to my taste, obviously) and it's pretty hard (compared to many other wines)

But I can pass ALMOST any wine

Louis Jadot Beaujolais, it is the one wine that we always keep in the house.

I adore Barefoot's merlots. Just about everywhere carries it, and my local liquor store has it on sale occasionally. I stocked up when they had it for $5 a bottle. Familiar, affordable, and can compete with wines two to three times the price.

Glen Ellen cabernets are a staple for friday night steak dinner at the gf's parents' place.

I rarely ever spend more than $10 on a bottle of wine, and almost always have a super cheap (<$3 on sale) sweet red half-empty in the fridge as I cook with red wine all the time. Just today I was using some in a marinade for portabella burgers. Red wine, Worcestershire sauce, A-1 steak sauce, garlic powder, and any cooking oil.. yum.

If I want a nice wine, for about $20 or so, Benziger is great, and worth holding on to for a while to age. All of their reds are primo stuff at 6-8 years.

I'm really glad that the malbec grape is becoming more popular as a standalone for red wines. Some of the stuff coming out of South America these days is incredible.
