lindimens i think is what its called. the shiraz
I just cracked open a Robert Mondavi Private Selection Cabernet Sauvignon 2002 California.
It's pretty damn good. A tad too fruity for my tastes, but then again it is cabernet.
Anyone want to suggest a good red wine for me for next bottle?
lindimens i think is what its called. the shiraz
Me and My gf went wine tasting monday.
We got this great Pinot Noir Mondavi that they only made 300 cases of, and it was ranked 12th in the world.
They also have a Sauvignon Blanc from 96 that is to die for.
Want another good one??
Evolution 10 or Evolution 9.
Sokol Wineries in SO cal.
EXCELLENT stuff.
Sauvignon Blanc from 96 eh? Well i haven't seen any 90's vintages in any of hte stores i go to...so it might be outta my price range
Wine tasting is the man, i want to do that one day...my gf said she got so wasted when she went wine tasting in Australia.
Is Evolution the name of the brand?
Evolution is the name of the wine yeah.
Sokol Wineries.
It was cool.
The quiet and the views were fantastic.
BTW, you said suggest a good red wine, you didnt specify were to get it
yeah, i meant a good red wine that can be found at your local heb/corner liquor store/albertsons etc
i'll make another thread for when i want expennnsivvve wine
Lately all i've been buying is Robert Mondavi Private Selections
they're not that bad...my favorite was a 2003 or 4 merlot
get yellow tail shiraz, it's the , and cheap, kelly drinks it
shiraz must do a body good
but in all seriousness, i dont like shiraz as much as i like the merlots and cabernets
but maybe i just haven't tried the right shiraz yet
This is my favorite wine that I've ever had.

You should be able to find the 2001 version at a local store which should be close to as good for about $35.
We drove by Silverado Wineries, looked nice.
We plan on going back in November and making a 4 day weekend out of it.
Kind of a mini SIDEWAYS....
cool, thanks for the input everyone
For some great cheap reds, look torwars Argentinian Malbecs. I know I've had several, but La Posta Del Vinatero was one of the best.
You can try ANYTHING by Casa La Pastole from Chile, they also have great values.
Chislom trail winery in the Hill Country has the best Cab I've ever had. It runs about 40 bucks for a bottle. It is their reserve, but it is one of a wine.
You can also try the Fall Creek Meritus and Granite Reserve. They are red blends. The Granite Reserve is super cheap and you can probably get it at almost any decent HEB.
If you wanta good white, try the Kim Crawford Sav Blanc. It's really ing good! Sister Creek Winery has a great Chardonay, but the best wine I've ever had is their Muscat Canelli reserve and you can only get that at the winery. It's right north of Boerne if you want to take a small road trip. It's pretty awesome.
Oh Terra Noble from Chilean has a great Cab. They are from Chile.
i haaate white wines
i get nauseous after a few sips
Damn, now I want a glass of wine.
You just haven't tried the right ones.
I'm almost done with my bottle. Sometimes when i start getting buzzed and drink an entire bottle, I like to brush my tongue and rinse alot, then continue drinking the bottle....its like a luscious flavourful explosion
(damn the 1st person who turns that into a sexual comment)
Maybe. I am not experienced, but the my mom and her friend gets taste like spoiled fruity kool-aid.
I'm a redwine fan hands down.
The other day Ms. Faded and I tried this Pinot Noir from Transylvannia....it was pretty damn good, not too expensive judging from the per-glass costs
well i've asked her time and time again to register on spurstalk and lurk, but she's too timid to even do that
dude tell jekka to recommend a wine too
I drink most wines with Manny - the only one I think I'd recommend that he hasn't mentioned is a French wine called Morgon 2002 "Cote du Py" - I was a bigger fan of it than Manny. The wine guy at Central Market recommended it to me as an alternative to super-expensive Burgundys - it had good flavor though, and was fairly mellow - but not in a dull way by any means.
Smoking Loon's Pinot Noir is also good for the price - it's pretty cheap but has good flavor if you let it breathe for a while (otherwise the tannins are a little much).
You seem quite experienced with wines. This is like the time i checked out your personal blog and you talked about wines every day.
but seriously...what does burgundy mean in terms of wines?
Yeah, I don't have the extra cash or calories at the moment for wine, but soon hopefully.
I wasn't a big fan of whites either until I had some good stuff (i.e. not mass marketed Chardonnays and white Zinfandels).
And Burgundy, like Bordeaux, refers to the region the grapes and wine come from - that's pretty much it. Manny and I had a wine review journal on livejournal, but we haven't updated it since May (we haven't really bought much new stuff since then). It's at http://www.livejournal.com/users/wine_review/ if you want better reviews of some of the stuff Manny and I mentioned.
Do some wines actually taste good and , like better than a pepsi or promised land chocolate milk or penta water?
the wine that atl has tasted has all tasted nasty. i am thinking cuz it was prob cheap from walgreens and wants to know if it can rival some of the i have mentioned tastewise?
cool, i'll check it out manana, thanks again for all the input
