What's your favorite wine? - GoFuckYourself.com

Rick Latona · 11-13-2003, 08:08 AM

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.

2438 Cardinale 1995, Meritage, Alexander Valley

OMFG Mothers milk

also IF you can find it ( and I KNOW u can afford it rick)

Matanzas Creek Merlot

'91-95

rivals almost anything out there

kmanrox · 11-13-2003, 08:40 AM

toonces · 11-13-2003, 08:43 AM

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

KMAN!

comes thru with a good one!!!

cakebread ROCKS!

IM not a major fan of Opus though

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

GREAT FAMILY !!!!

Anything Red and Dry.

for champaign - veuve cliquot ... the price is great, and and the quality and flavor really doesn't get better - even if yo move up to bottles that are vastly more expensive.

for red and white - the chateaunuff du pape region produces several amazing cabernets and chardonnais

Forest, you clearly know what you are talking about so I have a question. Sometimes when I am in Europe they have "organic" wines on the menu that are usually red and served cold. They are always awesome. What makes them organic and why are they served cold?

unconnected · 11-13-2003, 08:51 AM

You can't beat a Borolo.. Well if you like a heavy wine which we do here. Montreal is amazing for wine.. 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..

I have actually had one 'good' californian wine.. Great taste, but the body was lacking, as it is with all wines except for Italians in my opinion...

Organic is Big over here and becoming bigger in the states
No man made chemicals used as pesticides or fertilizers

all natural ggrowing conditions

AND ALL red wine is supposed to be servered at CELLAR TEMP!

NOT room temp

Proper Cellar temp is 58-60f MAX!

give the wine room to open up and expand as it warms

If you open a bottle at room temp its got no were to expand and develp

americans tend to bruatlise their wines and we also tend to drink them way to young

its tough to compare any wines with BIG REDS in italy

the vine is soo old and the grape so strong

the BIGGEST wines in the world are italian

IMHO

strobi · 11-13-2003, 08:57 AM

best wine I've ever tasted:

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.

unconnected · 11-13-2003, 08:59 AM

Heh, my GF and I love to go downtown to the main Signature store and stare at the bottles of '99 Chateau Haut-Brion .. 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..
