    $9 Argentine wine is good for guzzling too! Thanks for the energy and enthusiasm and wine tasting gift you have cultivated. The combination is such a treat for us all to watch and learn from.

    Hey I know a Trevor M in Lake Oswego!

    Had my first Torrontes this past Saturday, the Susana Balbo “Crios” bottling, and am quickly becoming a big fan. You can definitely taste the muscat in its family tree but without being too muscatty (which is probably not a word). That’s a good thing.

    Bought a bottle to share with the wife because I think she is really going to like it enough to add to her Riesling/Gewurz rotation.

    Very quickly – 2008 is going to be such an exciting year for wine. I can’t wait to not only watch the Thunder Show, but to also see all the great new juice I can get at my shop. Happy New Year to all of you. And, if you live in Long Beach, CA, come and visit me at the Trader Joe’s in Belmont Shore. I run the wine shop there and would love to meet some fellow Vayniacs.
