The Wine Thread

VA wine is becoming quite the thing in some wine circles. I want to drink more of them. It's a good time to start investing in the best ones for long term aging.

Shared a bottle of a 2009 Ernie Els Proprietor's Blend last weekend at a cookout, really surprised how much I liked this one.

No kidding? I'll have to keep an eye out. Please post up if you find some you like.

I would try some from Barboursville Vineyards. The distributor, Broadbent Selections has one of the best portfolios in the wine business and is their distributor. I assume Barboursville Vineyards must be good if Broadbent is representing them.

I have not tried any of their wines, but their Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot are talked about.
