True, but once the beer snobs took it over, the legs got BIG. Plus, theres 2 Beer of the Month threads AND a beer-it-forward thread that take away from the "beer tonight" thread....Im just messin around anyway...nothing against wine, I just dont drink it.That thread has 1900 posts in two years.

I would be interested in starting an ***official*** thead that I could update with our selections & tasting notes.

No sweat. Beer and wine were both acquired tastes for me. I didn't start appreciating wine until just before I finished university.

Cool. Hopefully I'll get some help from Jules & company. I certainly am no expert, but I would love to our master list together. I'll work on it later tonight probably.No sweat.

I am going to reccomend the one that I have talked about on here often.
Los Planos Syrah. This one is 100% Syrah from the Aragon region of Spain.
In it you will find a softer Syrah then some people are used to. I love this wine!
$7-10 a bottle

If it's imported: Who is the importing company?What is the Grape variety
Price per bottle
Country of Origin
What we paid for the bottle

Here's two questions. The first one is in honour of my good friend that introduced me to wine in law school. The second one is in honour of another good friend that introduced me to winemaking (from actual grapes).
1. What country did "they" recently confirm Zinfandel originated from?
2. What is the mixture of grapes and juice called after grapes are pressed to begin fermentation?

Depends on the "rules". Wine is, for all practical purposes, fermented grape juice aged in oak. Besides some basic compounds to control sugar content, alcohol content, etc nothing else is added. Can the rules be bent to other fruits? If not then wine is constrained.Beer isn't constrained by these boundaries. Hops now a days make up fraction of the ingredients that can and will go into beer to define its character. There are far more varieties of beer than wine because of this.

i gotta count the monies & go home. And finish this Syrah from Gerry Rowland. Ramspeck Syrah...$10 wholesale. 600 cases made I think. Really good...actually needs decanting.

Thoughts?
What about Aus/NZ, Chile/Argentina, South Africa? We don't need to list the various regions (Rapel Valley, Marlborough, Stellenbosch, etc) but just the country. Or we could just have Australia/NZ, South America, Other.
The reason I say this is because there are some decent wines for the price there. For example Casa Lapastolle cab's from Chile, sauvignon blanc's from NZ, and one of my favorites: Altos Las Hormigas Colonia Las Liebres bonarda from Argentina.
And I don't have the $$ to be trying expensive bordeaux or burgundies.
Just a thought.

I do. And look forward to hearing thoughts.A few buddies (and their wives) and I decided to start a "once a month dinner" where we sample wines from various regions. We'll merely tell the sommellier what part of the world, or which varietal we'd like to focus on each month. Then we'll tell them a price range to stay in.
This month is the second month....
