Where in NC? if reasonable I’ll come from Myrtle Beach

Gary,

Great info on the “non-vintage” reds. I knew that sparkling wines did this, but didn’t know that reds did. This explains a lot. Red Truck does this as well and is widely popular. Thanks for the insight.

Gary- I don’t think we will have a shortage of Vayniacs for your NC offline!!!!!! 🙂

QOTD- wine of the day? Explore the universe of wine. So many grapes…so little time.

my go to wine is luis m. martini cabernet sauvignon napa valley, or a sterling vinyards chardonnay. and you haven’t approved my myspace friend request.

Please come to the triangle area.
qotd Because of you I am always trying new things. People think I know so much because I am always trying wines they never heard of. Most of my peeps stick to the basics but trying to get them watching you

My most common wine nowadays… 2005 Agustinos Winemaker’s Selection Cabernet/Carmenere (Chile). Nothing spectacular and probably falls under the over oaked category, but interesting pepper and dark fruit despite the powerful vanilla. Smooth, full bodied and the best wine for under $20 in Seoul, though the selection here leaves something (a lot) to be desired.

QOTD: My everyday wine right now has been affordable (under $30) Napa and Washington Cabs. I dedicated December as “Give Merlot another Chance Month”, it was kind of fun with more than a few winners in the bunch. Tonight I actually opened an $8.00 bottle of Francis Coppola’s 2005 “Rosso” which is one of the better sub $10 fruitgazims I’ve had in a while.

QOTD: No specific “go-to” wine right now. I guess in general I’d say I’m apt to choose a Zinfandel or an Australian shiraz if I’m shopping… but really, I’ve been unpredictable with my choices lately.

QOTD: My everyday wines lately are Spanish reds (monastrell, garnacha, and/or tempranillo) and Cote du Rhone wines. Normally I’d pick up CdP or those Bordeaux merlots I love so much but, well, I’m trying to drink less of that stuff than wines from other places this year.

Hmm… after watching this episode, I have an urge to play the original Legend of Zelda. Ah, the memories.

QOTD: I don’t really have a “go to” wine at the moment, but at one point, I was rolling with the Banfi Centine.

Greensboro, NC!

Dude…come to NC!!! I live in central VA and would drive to c u!! Anyhoot…my everyday wine is Bonterra organic Cabernet Sauvignon…about $13. Throughout the week I sometimes switch out with their organic Merlot…or a red that you’ve reviewed/recommended.

QOTD: Don’t really have a ‘Go To Wine’ at the moment. Trying to break out of the box and drink new a different varietals!!!! 🙂

Gary-Please tell me you want to come to Charlotte to see The Carolina Panthers Stadium and The Charlotte Bobcats Stadium and the new baseball stadium that is not done yet……….. 🙂

QOTD: Sangiovese in all of its iterations. Just a smooth, easy drinking, very flavorful red.

I live full-time in VA Beach so Raleigh or Cary is only a 4 hour drive. My go to wines are Spain, Portugal, and Southern France.

QOTD: I have been drinking Chateau LA CARDONNE 2000 in half bottle, very nice wine!!

QOTD: I am trying to single handedly keep the Missouri Wine industry in business so I drink Missouri Norton, Chardonel, Seyval, St. Vincent, Vignoles, Chambourcin, Vidal Blanc, some fruit wines, and some others.

QOTD: I dont like buying the same bottle twice… but! Right now it is Veramonte Primus.

So fay my everyday wine has been Cycles Gladiator Syrah 2005 although I’m thinking of switching to something more like Twenty Rows Grappler or Aiguilhe Querre 2004.

Hey Gary,

My everyday wine is Kuleto Estate 2004 Sangiovese followed closely by the Kuleto Estate 2004 Syrah…..

Take care,

Darrin

Gary, bring it to NC. The fans will be out in full force (with possibly some imports from neighboring states)
