Just finished this tonight! Great full body flavour and a half decent price, by Canadian standards.

This one, is truly worth trying, if you're a fan of Bordeaux wines.

Ordered a Cabernet Sauvignon at a BBQ restaurant last night.

I should have known it would come like this, considering all the soft drinks are served in jam jars.

I bought my girlfriend 2 bottles of Chateau Picard vintage 2386 for her birthday.

GerardoG · 11 April 2015, 04:20 AM

As we drive around just to...well, drive aroun and see what is new before heading home, I find a new store

Small quantities on each wine, but fantastic alternatives!!!!!

GerardoG · 11 April 2015, 04:25 AM

I received a bottle of Volver from a business supplier who passed away last year. A true gentleman that I respected. Will open this for the good times.

GerardoG · 11 April 2015, 04:27 AM

Vino Verde was nicely accepted during the BBQ, will bring a bottle for the ladies

GerardoG · 11 April 2015, 04:28 AM

...something different suggested by staff

GerardoG · 11 April 2015, 04:29 AM

Will leave a few of this at the condo, a very nice go-to wine.

GerardoG · 11 April 2015, 10:33 AM

A VERY drinkable Cab. Nice!!!!

This is my selection from the cellar that will accompany us to dinner this evening. Opened a bottle not long ago and it was TASTY!

Love all Miner wines, they make GREAT stuff and reasonably priced! Here is another reasonable NAPA standout

$90 and $110 per bottle retail isn't what I'd call "reasonably priced".

Roger you may need to recalibrate, Napa wines are not sub 100 dollars anymore, JMHO but that's just a harsh wantonebad reality. Please if you have a sub 100 dollar all Napa winner 92 points or higher I'd love t hear about it!!

We have some highly rated and expensive wines in the cellar, and will probably buy some more in the future, but we have come to the realization when weighing apples and oranges that more often than not, we'd rather buy 4 really good bottles of $25 wine than one outstanding $100 bottle, thus the "reasonably priced" comment.

You Couldn't be more wrong on this, there are literarily dozens and dozens if not 100's of great Napa reds wines under $100 that are "your 92 or higher" How you can generalize about 90-100 point Napa makes zero sense.

Go taste, do research and read your encyclopedia, surf the Internet and browse through your dictionary and taste again. In the real world you are in a fantasy.. Then come back here and wow us all with your vast just learned internet sommelier knowledge. Even Columbia Valley has above vintages consistently (90+)

Back on ignore

Mark - I just picked up some 2002 and 2007 Match Vineyards Napa Cabs at around $45/btl. Haven't had them before but the reviews were great and they are discounting to non-members right now - word is they might be dissolving as a winery. I'll be trying the 2002 Butterdragon Hill Cab tomorrow night for the first time. If it ranks, I'll let you know.

I would recommend Plumpjack Syrah - it's about just what you described you're looking for I'll go grab a bottle out of the cellar and post a pic.

Plumpjack wasn't one of the ~50 vineyards at the wine fair but I will ask around to see if anyone brings them in.

RHIII · 19 April 2015, 05:35 AM

This one is SUPER good with some really good barbecue...

Had family visiting our new baby and enjoyed some of my favorites.

If you have an opportunity to go to Napa, I highly suggest touring Palmaz vineyards. Quite possibly the most impressive gravity-fed facilities in the world. The wine itself is just as impressive.

Looks pretty interesting G. I'm right there with you!!!

On the cooking note...

We just prepared our fondue night - some teryaki marinated chicken, seasoned filet, and some shrimp with an awesome dry rub we picked up at Dean and Deluca (citrus ginger). And made a fresh citrus / chicken base cooking style.

May end up back in the cellar before the night is up!!!

Went well with pot roast in the slow cooker, decanted for 30 mins initially but seemed to open up a lot better at around the hour point.
