I used the port tongs on Taylor as I usually do on all Vintage or LBV's that have a driven cork. I did not do it on the Ramos as I knew I could get away with a cork screw and opened it a day before. I was planning on drinking the Ramos over a couple of days, but that did not happen. I have several cases of the Ramos, so I knew the corkscrew would work on them. Usually I do the tongs as you don't know what the cork is going to do.

I find there's good value in buying big names in off years. I'd avoid 70's stuff, but 80's is still fair game for bdx when priced right. Some wines like Burgundy of CdP, age is everything so I'd take an average mature bottle over a better recent bottle of the same price point.

![]() Picked up a case of 2006 Giordano Toscana (Super Tuscan) at Costco for $13 a bottle. Worth getting for sure (hint hint). I see 5-7+ years aging and should be a fun daily drinker. Comes in wooden case too! Picked up '05 Kendall Jackson Grand Reserve Cab. Double Magnum for $79. Compared to regular B&M's, the double magnum comes out to regular bottle pricing. Another 5-10 year aging drinker. I have something for large format bottles.

I enjoyed a very nice cabernet last night. It is called Casillero Del Diablo. I picked it up for 10 bucks (michigan). I highly recommend especially with a good cigar.

Should be able to get most CdPs at considerably lower prices than LaMiss unless you are shooting for hard to get stuff like Henri Bonneau or La Nerth's Cadetes etc. Haven't had a chance to taste too many 06s yet, but have bought Clos Saint Jean which to me is like Cali Grenache on steroids and Charvin which is my favorite. To me it's the most elegant CdP there is when aged.

Picked up a bottle of CdP this evening:
2003 Chateau des Fines Roches Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France $21- local (crappy) wine shop Sight: Clear, garnet color, light brick rim variation Nose: awesome nose- choc covered strawberries, plum, cherry, violet candy, grape soda, light chalk Taste: raspberries, ground pepper, light carmel, chalk/white stones This is SMOOTH. Barley notice the 14% alcohol and tannins. I'll be tasting the second half of the bottle tomorrow. |

Hello Guys and Gals,
I'm new to the wine section. I really like a smooth pair flavor wine. I love white wines. As a newbie are there any goodwebsites just for white wine lovers. No thanks to boonesfarm or arbormist.

The pear flavor would be a drier Riesling. My favorite white wines are from Mersault (Burgundy), but finding them under $30 is difficult.
