Who can recommend a good wine?

Recommended Posts

Whew. I am exhausted, and I'm just on day two of moving days. The big stuff doesn't get moved until Saturday. How did I collect so damn much stuff?!!!

Does anyone have recommendations for a really good wine? I prefer red, but chardonnay is good too. I am not talking $75 wine--can't afford that and if I could, you know it would be spent on something skydiving related. But a decently priced, very good wine. I'm planning on sitting in my new place Saturday night, when the moving is done, with my feet up, candles burning, music playing....and enjoying a few glasses of wine. If I'm spending more than 10 bucks on a bottle, I want to know it's going to taste really good.

Cheers everyone~here's to new beginnings!:)

Well, I thought that was a requirement for being a *real* skydiver?:D:D:D

I think you mean I drink often, vs a lot. Three drinks does me in. And I've recently figured out it is NOT good to sit with a bottle of gin in front of you posting on the internet.

Nope. That sucker got poured down the drain. :|:|

I personally like the Chilean reds. Cheaper than most and very nice.

My new fave ... Santa Rita 120 Cab Sauv. It was $11.99 here. Should be a mere pittance in your $$. ;):D

Enjoy your move. And like others have said, don't drink alone. Invite a friend!

Go to the supermarket and buy 3 or 4 random 8 dollars bottles. THen try them and you'll find a couple you like.

Explore! What have you got to lose?:)



Oh how I wish you could buy wine at the supermarket in Colorado. We can't even buy alcohol on Sundays at liquor stores...they're required to be closed!!

I've had some pretty decent Australian wines in the $7-9 price range. But for the first time, I thought, maybe I"ll buy a semi-decent bottle of wine for myself, rather than as a gift for someone else.

And for those who've said don't drink alone....I think, for me, for just that one night, that may be the point. Know what I mean?:)

I know that you aren't going to believe this but....I was just going to make a post about the best wines to taste....we must have ESPN tonight!!!! the new one I have tonight is Campus Oaks Old Vine Zinfandle (2003)...if you like Zins...this is one of the best I have had. 14 hands has a nice merlot and a nice cab sauv as well. I love Ravenswood too. What can I say...I am a sucker for a good wine.:o:o

Oh, girl! I would LOVE to hang with you for a night of wine tasting! That would be so "anti-Prairie" and at the same time, SO "PRAIRIE"! :D:D

CYA there! I'll bring a few of my faves too!
