GV – QOTD – I’m digging Cline Mourvedre as of late, for a quaffer. Am I caught up yet on shows?!

QOTD: I’ve gotta say Chiantis are my everyday wines at the moment. There are some good cheapish ones.

Hey Gary, greetings from Belgium.
Two mildly priced wines I enjoy are:
El Coto Rioja – Spain 5 euros (7,5 dollars)
Las casas del toqui – Chili 3,5 euros (5,25 dollars)

QOTD: My go to wine(s) is usually a Rhone varietal blend. I’m partial to Grenach/Syrah/Mourvedre blends (such as the Whistler Black Piper GSM you turned me on to, or Mas de Guiot Grenache/Syrah).

QOTD: I donÂ´t keep a lot of wine at home, but I do drink wine often at bars and usually ask for a Ribera del Duero. Pinna Fidelis is widely available here and easy to drink.

When I was in the US, El Coto (Rioja) was an inexpensive tempranillo that I enjoyed quite often.

QOTD: I have been having too much fun trying different wines to have one everyday wine. However, Chile and Argentina are the areas I have been tasting most regularly!

I don’t have a go to wine. I have been drinking every 2005 Bordeaux I can find up to 30 bones lately. For the most part, you are right about the QPR. Good Juice!!! Usually I just try different wines as much as possible.

QOTD: I don’t have any “everyday” wine because I am fortunate enough to have a substantial stock on hand. If I had to pick a “default” wine, it would probably be a Spanish red wine since I have a large number of them that I like that roll in under $20 a bottle.

QOTD: Everyday wines

RED
* Cotes Du Rhone — e.g., Parallele “45″, Saint Cosme
* Malbec — e.g., Rutini

WHITE
* NZ Sauvignon Blanc — e.g., Kim Crawford
* Whatever new style I haven’t tried — e.g., Savennieres, Graves, Gavi

I was happy to see Excelsior Cabernet on the program today – that is a nice sub-$10 wine that a lot of restaurants have on their list and for very good reason in my opinion. However, I was a little upset to see you pan it as you did. I agree with you that good values can be found in the Rhone, and in the South of France, but, a cab at this price, with the texture and flavor profile that it provides at this price… I don’t know how you can do anything but sing its praises. I am a lurker! But this is my coming out party!!! I am Wine Surfer – hear me roar! I plan to comment on your shows from now on so be prepared for some “thunder”. BTW, thanx for the wristband – I do appreciate it.

The great thing about everyday wine is that it’s cheap. Why would you pigeon yourself to one grape or label? If it’s cheap, it should be cheap to have a varietal. I’d hate to let this one loose, but we love the Dr. Loosen L Riesling. It’s the best damn deal I’ve found in a really really really really really long time. Goes so well with a ton of different food and it’s 7.99. Other than that, I buy Ercavio, Kenwood Pinot Noir, and Pillar box.

QOTD: Ercavio–and I have the Thunder Show to thank for this one.

OMG! First post in post in months.
QOD- Very difficult to find many CDR’s in Maui. Always my first choice. But forced to have a everyday wine it has got to be the under $10 Columbia Crest Wines. Merlot, Two Vines Shiraz, and Cab-Merlot.LOTS of bang for the buck.
And Gary, Sorry about those Jets buddy!!!
