OT Wine Recommendation Thread

[Downtowner]

My favorite California wine region tends to be the Santa Rita Hills area of Santa Barbra county, this is due my liking of Pinot Nior and Chardonnay. This area is only a 3-4 hour drive and makes for a great getaway weekend! Wineries that I am a member of include: Babcock, Foley, Gainey (Evans Ranch), Palamino.

In Temecula I would recommend Hart, Doffo, & Monte de Oro and only Reds – it’s just too hot in that valley to grow most of the white grapes.

I also agree with SDRealtor that you can find some great deals at several wine shops throughout the city. Bacchus on G downtown is a great example. They are very knowledgeable and will guide you to wines based on what you like.

“alcohol is an acquired taste, so try to acquire a taste for the cheap stuff”….

somewhat OT from the OT of this thread, but apolitical, is the question of why Temecula wines are so high. I WANT to buy temecula wines but just cannot because theya re too expensive. i can get great stuff from EUROPE cheaper than temecula. what’s up with that? is it real estate prices?

I’m not sure why everyone is commenting that Temecula wines are too expensive? Take Hart winery, they have 3 pretty good red wines (Merlot, Tempranillo, & Three (red blend))for under $20. And if you are a member they are under $15. No, it’s not $2, but you get what you pay for, the same reason why Guinness is more expensive that Bud Lite.

There are a couple homebrewing supply stores in San Diego, and they also sell winemaking supplies. American Home Brewing Supplies (http://redkart.com/ahbs/contact.shtml) and Home Brew Mart (http://homebrewmart.com/contact.php) are the two I frequent. Home Brew Mart is also a good place to pick up growlers of Ballast Point’s beer.
