GuestI never posted my comments about the Ghost Pines Merlot because a bunch of people already did and I’ll echo most of their comments.
But, I seem to be pretty fickle when it comes to wines. I took the Ghost Pines to a party a couple of weeks ago. I only got one glass, and enjoyed it but couldn’t truly appreciate it. I didn’t have the right combination of glass/food/state of mind/etc. to truly appreciate it. I opened the 2nd bottle a couple of days later. Nice wine. More sediment than I’m used to, but definitely not a bad thing.
Even more interesting, I had a glass of the Menage a Trois after having a glass of the Ghost Pines. I’m not quite the fan of Menage that I was before. It’s too sweet. I’m not sure why I didn’t notice that before. I tried another glass of it tonight, same result. It’s more like a desert wine.
Some friends took me to Flemings tonight and they brought wine with them. One was a “Malbec” called Aguaribay. Some kind of Argentinian wine I think. That sure was tasty in those nice big wine glasses and a medium-rare filet. Never had that kind of wine before but I liked it. She said it was $8.99 at Costco. For that money it’s definitely worth a try, and I’d pick up another bottle.

ParticipantThe “Top 100 Best Buys for 2008” was just published by Wine Enthusiast Magazine. Black Box Wine (a BAG-IN-BOX wine discussed earlier in the thread), was rated the 12th best value of 2008. Not bad considering they rated 11,000 wines last year and it’s one of the few wines in the top 100 that’s readily available at main stream retailers.
