    What's your favorite wine?

    A couple of weeks ago I tried La Poja and absolutely fell in love with it. I think it is definately my new favorite. I've always loved Barolo, Amarone and other northern Italian wines as well.

    What's your favorite?

                  I had a bottle of Petaluma sent to me recently. It was some nice wine.

                  www.petaluma.com.au
                  I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
                  I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                                                      Cardinale has been added to my wish list. The '91-95 will be very tough to find.

                                                        I love this wine

                                                        It tastes great and has a great price.

                                                            Sterling Merlot. I'm usually a Cabernet Fan, however this merlot is Fab. Best vinyard in the Napa valley in my opinion as well.

                                                            Best reasonable Chardonay for a dinner party (hence buying in volume...at least at my dinner parties)
                                                            Clos du Bois
                                                            SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                                                                dont get me wrong its a verry good wine BUT for the price there are sooo many better wines out there

                                                                Mondavi was a genious to get the french in on that deal

                                                                The guy almost single handedly created the american wine market from what was mostly Jug wines in the 60's and 70's

                                                                I was lucky enough to work for them for a short time in napa

Most SAQ signature stores(high end liquer stores) have Borolo only sections.. Italians definitely dominate the wine scene but I have to say the taste of good Hermitage wines are always intriguing.. So unique of a flavour it is nice and different..

                                                                                                the vine is soo old and the grape so strong

                                                                                                the BIGGEST wines in the world are italian

                                                                                                IMHO

                                                                                                  Chateau Margaux 2000



                                                                                                  pricey (450$) but worth it for a special moment

                                                                                                  I still have around 24 bottles of the 1998 in my cellar and ALOT more... My cellar is worth more than my whole house.

One day when I have enough money to justify spending 900.00 for a regular bottle we are going to get one..


                                                                                                    What kind of Decanters/glasses do you guys have?
                                                                                                    I have two decanters, the crowd favorite is the Vinum Extreme(I imagine we all know what that looks like), however it isn't as efficient as my magnum decanter
                                                                                                    (the one on the far right)


                                                                                                    As for glasses I tote the complete Riedel red wine set.. What really surprises me is when I run into people that 'love' wine but don't have the proper glassware for it.. Kind of like Beckham wearing cross trainers in a game in my mind.. Most people fail to realise how different and enhanced wine tastes when drank with the proper glass. Hell Riedel even makes special juice glasses which enhance the flavour of juice.. Most people would say 'yea right' which is what I said when talking with the representative at my old cellar design store, but after spending the bucks on the set and then doing a taste test and comparing the same wine, with and without decanting, and then with my old glasses compared to the Riedels you realise how much of a huge difference those glasses make..
