So, as promised, Sheila and I went out today and purchased a pile of wine down at the Alberni liquor store. Here’s a list of what I picked up:
- 2004 Las Rocas (Spain)
- 2003 Altos de Luxon, Jumilla (Spain)
- 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape (France)
- 2005 Wits End, Cabernet Franc, The Procrastinator
- 2003 Renwood Zinfandel (California)
- 2003 Woodhenge Shiraz (Australia)
- 2000 Cote de Nuits “Le Vaucrain” (France)
- 2005 Malbec, Achaval Ferrer (Argintina)
- 2004 Glen Carlou Syrah (South Africa)
Tomorrow I’m gonna head down to a place on 4th and figure out how to do this home brew stuff. I’ve been told that it tastes pretty good, and the price really can’t be beat for the day to day stuff.
duane, our wedding wine was all home made by Jess and mom. Its super easy and there
is a place by us that we could take you to. Good deal. All in the grape juice you
pick. Hey by the way, as i leave this comment it scrolls right into the other part
of the screen
That’s because you look at too much porn and your computer is full of spyware.
Actually, you’re right.. I’ll try and fix it.. Thanks man.. Let me know which place.
I’m getting pretty familiar with the $13 bottles of red wines. These are my picks:
The Little Penguin–I admit, I first picked it because of my penchant for penguins, but I do really like the merlot.
Kelly’s Revenge–tastes like summer.
Robert Mondavi–which I discovered in Napa when I visited the posh winery. I can’t recommend a specific bottle because we tried so many it’s now all a blissful blur.
Wallys Hut Shiraz–I heard that due to an oops and some weird bottling rules in Australia, this is actually a $25 calibre wine in a $12 bottle.
In general, I think Australian reds are a good place to start sampling.
