How was the CdP, not familiar with the house.

I'm not familiar with CdP as this was my first experience drinking it. But it was excellent!! Would like to try more when I can fit it in my budget!

Wines from the Rhone region can be a good value. CdP is usually mostly Grenache grape, but is blended.

For good cheap daily drinker, try St James Basket Press http://www.thewinebowgroup.com/our-b...t-press-rouge/

Excellent crowd pleasing wine for like $10 and unique in that it is made from a blend of different vintages in a solera system like Sherry wine. Bottles age fine with screw cap. Had one that was like 5 years old and was equally as fun.

2014 Tierra Roja....the bomb

Heyyyyyyyyy folks.


So growing up, I always thought wine was that stuff in a big jug for $5.99. Wasn't a fan. But I moved to the middle of Wine Country, CA about 3 yrs ago, and after going tasting with friends a few times, I now appreciate wine.

Drinking a Syrah from Lodi, CA right now. Wine club price is $12 and this s#it is so good, I'm gonna enter it into a blind taste test with some wine snobs I'm hanging out with later this month.

My $12 Syrah got 3rd place out of 12.

I moved back down to SoCal a couple of months ago. I will miss the wine from up north. Guess I'll have to make a road trip once in a while.

Scored a 2015 chave blanc recently in a raffle. My first chave and I’m probably going to save it for spring

We visited Lodi ack in June and found a number of very fine, inexpensive reds there!

I normally don’t like Aussie wines, but I tried 19 Crimes Banished. It was extremely smooth and full flavored a new go to red blend!

I'm way late on this reply -- but no. Wasn't even aware it existed.

Did have a nice bottle of 2014 Clos du Bois cab. For short money, it was delicious.

Scored some 2004, 2008 and brut rose Bruno Paillard today in a raffle. Excited especially for the 04

What kind of raffle would offer obscure Champagne's like that. Neat!

TD9 by Shafer is easily a $50-60 version of the Hillside Select. Just bought a 6-pack of 2015/2016 to enjoy daily.

Banshee Cabernet. Nice surprise for a wine I chose just for the label.

Man what a day, you know the flight the other day was a rollercoaster all over the place, then I get in and it's raining, having a hard time adjusting to the time change... oh wait .. sorry I thought this was the whine thread.
