OT Wine Recommendation Thread

Here’s a good tip. Find wine shops that do tastings on Friday or Saturdays. Try this one out

SD Wine Company has the best prices in town. The tend to have mostly good wines at moderate prices. Not too much higher end wine but a great place to learn what you like and try new things. Its where I got started about 12 years ago. You can go there on a Saturday afternoon and taste 5 to 10 wines for $10. There are others I could send you to but this would be a great start.

Had a bottle of Deepwood Zinfindel from Lodi. About 20$ abottle. Pretty good.

[quote=mike92104]I was hoping the last wine thread would have stuck around, but it didn’t. I’m starting a new one because I got several great recommendations from the Piggs, and I want some more.[/quote]

If you like dessert wines, check out Essensia Black Muscat.

[quote]Also, has anyone tried making their own?[/quote]

I made a batch of pomegranate wine last fall. It came out curious, very strong, carbonated, and with some strange off-tastes, I guess I didn’t do it quite right. And I only had enough fruit for ten bottles, because the garden was too stressed the previous year and it did not produce a good yield. I expect to have a lot more pomegranates this fall.

I have some grapes, too, but I’ve just planted them this spring and they won’t be properly fruitful till 2012 at the earliest.

Cashmere is a very flavorful, smooth wine offering big cherry, raspberry and chocolate notes with hints of cracked black pepper and plum.

Dark, dense and creamy, complex aromas of black plum, Bing cherry, blackberry and pepper merge with licorice, tobacco, mocha and dark chocolate. This is one inky
Shiraz; an explosion of dark, super ripe, wild blackberry, with a touch of cigar box finishing with a mélange of exotic spices.
