The Wine Thread

It's such a pain in the a$$ to travel with wine these days, so will buy a mixed case when I hit the ground. Sucks. Pre 9/11 I always brought a couple of heavy hitters with me. On the upside, my cousin collects and cellars european beers, so I always get to try interesting stuff that I know very litte about.
