Default Wine...Reds, Whites.

I used to have $3-400/month wine habit, but switched to beer (Heineken or Newcastle). I got so much wines during Christmas, that I forgot how much I enjoy a good wine. I gravitate towards Pinots -- nothing particular, just know what I like when I drink it.

Anyone here have a suggestions? Let's keep it reasonable. $20 max per bottle. I can finish a bottle myself in an hour. Like to save the good stuff for special occasions, but they never seem sit in my wine rack very long. LOL, there's like two left in there....there were about dozen around Christmas.

There are a lot of good Pinot Noirs that are good. Acacia makes decent ones and so does Robert Sinsky and Sam Sabastiani. Au Bon Climat is a known Pinot that offers many in different price ranges that I enjoy. If you don't mind stepping up a little, Merry Edwards and Martinelli makes an excellent Pinot. If you ever get a chance to try it, the William Seylem Pinots are excellent (Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast!) So many good Pinots out there, can't remember all though. Cheers!

Hey, I only went to Safeway and don't have any wines at home. It was one of the better ones there! Glad you enjoyed it!

Molly Dooker makes some good wine too. I'm sure Kent and Betty will agree.

we love molly dooker but not in the price range that he specified and no pinots, they are always shiraz and merlot mixes.

maybe spanky will bring us some
