After wandering the wine desert for sometime, i am circling around for fall, winter, spring looking for great recommendations on well priced red wines. I would love to hear what you guys are drinking, what you think of it, price points, good years with promising futures, etc.
I am a fan of Bourdeaux wines, naturally. There seem to be modest deals out there at various stores. It always seems like a hit or miss when i pick one up though. I like to buy on prospect (which i know is risky) but often turns out well if ive read before hand. Thoughts on these that have promise currently? Stores? Prices?
Love the Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines, and rarely have had one that wasn't rewarding at a base level at minimum. Pretty wide range on prices on these.
Pomerols are great too.
For consistency you can't beat Silver Oak (Napa). Though they are kind of pricey. (As are all of them that are consistently good).
There use to be an off label called Claudius that was out of this world. Sonoma Cab. Turned out it was essentially what weller is to pappy. Would buy it by the case in the early 2000s at Wines on Vine. No longer around (that i can locate)
What are you folks enjoying?
