I just googled Healdsburg wineries to see whats around and these are the nearby wineries whose wines I drink>

Twomey
Ridge
Selby
Jordan** (a spectacular winery with great wines)
Gary Farrell
Chalk Hill (good chards)
William Selyem (great pinots but dont think they have a tasting room)
Ramey

Of all of these I would put Jordan on the dont miss list.

I remember the first time I had BV George Latour Private Reserve Cab. A friend had ordered a bottle at Peohes in Coronado. Halfway through the glass, it occurred to me that it was the best wine I had ever tasted. Of course vintage matters, and my mind has lost the details, but one may buy a quantity of this stuff for less than the prices you list, and allow them to come of age.

As always, TG has brought his erudite bon vivant best. Then Barnaby bats cleanup. Good stuff.

Still, am I the only one who owns a copy of Clifton Fadiman’s Joy of Wine? It’s one of those large awkward books that few read, and fewer want to keep around, and can usually be bought for a song. His forward is priceless for any wino, for he tells of his journey, which is our journey. Fadiman was famous for being a thinking man, when our culture once appreciated such a thing. He observed that putting the wine cup to one’s lips is drinking from the river of the history of man. He also said, that cheese is milk’s leap toward immortality. I’m with Fadiman.

I have been on a Zin and Shiraz binge for about the last year. Like the Australian, New Zealand and S. American (Argentina and Chile) wines a lot too. Most are in the $20 range. A good range to buy a decent bottle. Anyone have any wines they’d recommend from Costo? I like SD Wine Co and have bought a lot from Costco that are decent. I like their 7 Deadly Zins lately.
