The best wine in the world comes from France
I keep around 1000 bottles which i replenish monthly as drink it.
IMHO the best wine is;
Chateau Mouton Rothchild 1961 an absolutely amazing wine for around $1200.00 a bottle wholesale.
My second choice and slightly more affordable is Lynch Bages 1983 at around $240.00 a bottle wholesale and is drinking well at this time.
Third choice is Chateau Lator 83 at around $340-$480 a bottle wholesale its a mid prices wine that tastes divine. Remember if you get these in a restaurant they will double the price so always go to a wholesale outlet. The best i know are in LA.
If it a good everyday drinking wine you want try any of the following Merlot:
Columbia Crest Californian $6.00 at Henrys ( Bonies )
Mouton Cadet French $5.99 at Henrys $8.99 at Vons
La Bicyclette $8.99 at Vons Price goes as low as $6.99 and as high as $12.99 so pick the time to buy this and by a dozen bottles!!!
I don't drink white wine so all the above are red, the only exception is the Mouton Cadet which is also available in a great white wine that tastes good as a summer drink with salad or white meat and fish. Although i do not follow the old rule of drinking white wine with white meats, i believe you should drink what ever you like as long as it goes with your meal.
There is no point is spending our thousands of $$$$ if you don't like the taste of these expensive wines. Try the local wines from Henrys and Vons and see if they are to your taste before spending out the big bucks.
