ok I'm not a connissieur but I really do enjoy my wine. What parts of the world do your favorite wines come from and how much are you willing to spend on a bottle?
Me? I've found that some of the best values come from Chile, Australia, and I've just discovered today...South Africa.
I can't recall the Chilean wine I adore because I'm so fuzzy off the south african but I truly love Lindemans from Australia. I've had many varieties...merlot, cabernet, shiraz, sauvignon blanc...I just discovered this South AFrican today it's called Goiya it's the Chardonnay/Sauvignon blanc mix...yummy! it was 5 or 6.99 for the bottle! yay! I also picked up the obligatory Merlot (Bianchi from Madera County sounded good to me especially for $7) and a Chardonnay from France called "Wild Pig". Now, the only reason I picked up Wild Pig is because it was:
1) on sale from 9.99 to 6.99
2) has a pretty sun embossed on the bottle)
3) my chinese horoscope makes me a pig
The price? Anything more than $8 and the label REALLLLLLY better catch my eye. I would estimate that the average that I pay for a bottle is $7 (gawd I love those vons and ralphs club deals!)
Winos please share your tricks, secrets and adorations.
Should I really be hoarding that '93 bottle of Dom Perignon for a special occasion?
