Nothing amazing but lots of french bubbles and Aussie & Kiwi red's and whites. My beloved hill of grace, penfolds and my favourite Lake's Folly. An old photo with the Daytona in shot.

My wife and I are fans of the central coast of California, lots of nice wines and a bit more laid back than farther north.
The Malbec (not from CA) is a great bargain.

For me... Australian Cab Sauv is my preferred choice. Not shown here as it is impossible to get in UK but Rockfords from the Adelaide hills. Their sparkling Shiraz is to die for (any Aussie members know of this?) Also Shaw & Smith is highly recommended. |

I wouldn't even know where to start....we spent 10 days in Napa over the holidays and I re-stocked my cellar nicely...Sequoia Grove is great - we visited them along with MANY others while we were out there. Brough back some Cambium. I'm a big fan of Amizetta (smaller, lower production vineyard) and the owners and family are GREAT people. Pride is another go to for me along with Viader (more for special occasions) - they are located on the top of Howell mountain in Deer Valley. They produce high end Bordeaux-style cabs. Another few favorites are Nickel & Nickel, Scarecrow and Bond wines and OF COURSE Screaming Eagle --- when it's available. |

The middle bottle is Pappy Van Winkle 23 year old bourbon. It's not wine,so it shouldn't have been in this thread,but it was inspired by my TRF friends! |

I love reds & I usually find one I like & stick to it, although I've found the guys are very free with their advice & you have to try them out. LOL My cheap go to is Menage A Trois although I'm opening my scope to a broader range of varieties of grapes. I like 2 whites, 1 is a Sauvignon Blanc from Kim Crawford & a Late Autumn Riesling from Inneskillin from Ontario, Canada. I recently bought the Chardonnay from Kim Crawford for my cousin who is primarily in to white wine & she raved about it so it will be worthy of a try in future.

I like to stick with a basic Châteauneuf-du-Pape. La Fiole du Pape is a specific favorite but getting harder to find.

We are preferable to Cali red as well. Notably Pahlmeyer, Peju, Round Pond, Silver Oak are always around the house. We will mix in a Dunn Bros, Hall, Seghesio and Ridge with some regularity. We are equal opportunity between Cabs, Pinots, Blends and Red Zinfandels...

I have never in my 39 years been a wine drinker and only know the difference between white and red once they are in the glass. We were at a charity function this weekend (that was centered around wine so we were lost) and they had this on the tables amongst others that were several times it's price according to those in the know. But we really enjoyed this and I may seek it out for a little byob place we go to with friends from time to time.

I went through a wine "phase" but started getting really bad wine headaches so I kind of drifted away from it.
Sorry no pics but some recommendations... Chardonnay: Grgich Hills Pinot Noir: ZD Cabs: Stag's Leap SLV, Cornerstone Howell Mountain Zin: St. Francis Three Valley's All in the $25 to $50 range. |

Part of my evening last night. We love the St. Francis Cab, but after being jet lagged and finishing up with the Lagavulin, let's just say some Advil was in order this morning!
