I can get a lot of 2007 CdP. How's Telegramme? My local wine store has it just under $30, I may pick a bottle up.
It's a second label to the Telegraphe that you mentioned, Moses. Produced from younger vines, less than 30 years old. |

'07 CdP's need some time to decant if you plan to drink now. Consider buying some Gigondas; another Rhone wine for less money. St. Cosme makes a nice one, as Guigal.

Could never get into drinking wine...could not get past the vinegar smell. Every wine that I tried, had that smell. And then a friend turned me onto Moscato...WOW!!!

I associate Paso Robles with Zinfandel and Petit Sirah, so when I see a new one I am not afraid to try it. Our Costco has a 2008 Zin from a Paso winery called Opolo named Summit Creek Zin. It is rich, fruity, velvety, and high in alcohol (16.4%) though you can't tell it from the taste. I expected it to be porty but it's not. A very good expression of a Paso Robles Zin for less than $20. I may go back and get a case.

1996 was a great year for champagne in general. I had the 96 bollinger RD and it was fantastic. Not too experienced in vintage champagne. This is one of my new year's resolutions....

Wine in general is something I want to get more versed in. I haven't had a Champagne in a while though. It's another wine I need to get a few bottles of. I'm also curious as to which other regions produce good sparkling wine.

How about Pol Roger? 1998 Sir Winston worth the price tag?

And you really need to try Etoile rose as well (Napa), I had it next to some better French versions and for me it was easily the better wine at much better price. |

It is an excellent Champagne, but there are many nice ones. How much did you see it for? Under $150 I would go for it.

A little brett goes a long way. I thought the most recent vintages aren't as "bretty"?

All over France sparkling wines are made. Check out Cremant; all the pleasure of Champagne at 20% the price. Made mostly with Pinot Noir and comes in various sweetness levels. Cava from Spain is good too. America makes a few noteworthy ones from TX and RI.
