Re: Talking about wine
Please use this thread. I was going to unlock the other one but then I realised it was almost two years since someone posted in there. Better just make it a fresh start.�Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted. And experience is often the most valuable thing you have to offer.�

I have never been across the way

Revolting with anger
While it smiled like it was cute
That everything was shit.

Re: Talking about wine
Ever since people discovered that good wine doesn't HAVE to come from France, a lot of places have started cranking it out. Since I'm a Michigander, I usually like to stick to Michigan made wines. The western side of the state has some really outstanding vinyards & vintners.
My personal favorites come from Black Star, or Grand Traverse, but they are a bit pricey, so the last one I had was Left Foot Charlie Red. Not too bad.Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

Re: Talking about wine
CA wines from Clarksburg are my current favorite (and close by home too!). A Todd Taylor Primitivo being my current red of choice. And a Rendevous Chenin Blanc.
I have a fondness for Australian wines too. They have some very interesting selections at the import store.

What was it - and how was it?
Bird in Hand's Montepulciano (red).
It was nice. Pretty much as it's described, it has "lifted varietal aromas of sweet black briary fruits. The long palatte includes flavours of blackberry and current with firm tannins ensuring a silky finish".

Australian wine is amazeballs. South Australian wine is pretty top notch, Victoria has some great ones. New Zealand makes some of the best Sauv Blanc in the world.
If you're looking as Australian wines, generally get reds from the Barossa Valleh, and whites (mostly Reisling) from the Clare ValleyThorSon's milkshake brings all the PF girls to the yard - Volcaniclastic

Re: Talking about wine
I like Yellow Tail Cabernet (Australian). Surprisingly good for its low price! We have a couple of local wineries here in MO, what I've tasted was sweet and I prefer dry, so I can't make a judgement. I went to Cream Ridge Winery in NJ once and they had some really interesting stuff.sigpic
Can you hear me, Major Tom? I think I love you.

I really like wines from the Mosel, though Saxony also makes surprisingly good wines. In a town in Brandenburg near Berlin, they have a fruit wine festival every May. There are also some interesting choices there.
British Columbia also produces great wine, but unfortunately you can only get it there. None of the wineries are big enough to export.
