Wines for the holidays!

[barnaby33]

One of the wine boards on which I participate had a discussion of wines for Turkey day. Whats interesting is that most of the comments centered around, wine choice not important. Thanksgiving is about food and family most guests at the table will be thirsty but not particularly knowledgeable. It was great to see winos not obsessing over their wine choices.

So what are you all drinking right now? Has anyone else noticed that Syrah has become the new Merlot and there are AMAZING deals to be had at all price points on it?

Here’s my recommendation. Take the wine spectator and throw it away. Anything pimped in it is over priced and reflects that one particular taste.

Just go for a drive in California or even Oregon’s wine areas. Pick any road, stop at the tasting rooms on it. Drive in to the vineyard, no tasting room, no problem, just ask.

You’ll find great wines that you like.

That’s what counts.

For real fun on the holidays, do a blind tasting. Go to TJs, BevMo, or TotalWine, get some dreaded two buck chuck, a $4.99 bottle, some more expensive bottles and your favorites and maybe a nice wine spectator 90+, open them, let them air a bit and then see who really likes what when they don’t know what it is.

I was at Henry’s and picked up a few bottles of Cycles Gladiator just for the heck of it. Was surprised. Not too bad.

i tried the new BLACK BOX premium wine over the weekend in a box 4 liters 20 dollars. I liked it. i like the box. i saw BIG HOUSE RED also comes in a box now and i liked that in the bottle. I like wine ina box because you can keep drinking and be unclear how much you’ve had.
