Josh, you will be unsurprised to hear that on Thanksgiving I busted out a bottle of Grant Burge 06 Draycott Shiraz. My dad said, “You are a beastly little toad, but you sure can pick wine.” (Yes, that is an exact quote). I gave you full credit for the wine picking though.
I look forward to discussing the Syrah glut with you further…

I was listening to NPR yesterday about this subject.
I like the advise…look for a bottle with a fancy looking label that costs $15 or less.
According to some study or another doubling or tripling the price of your selection doesn’t translate to double or triple the preference in a blind taste test.
In other words you might be surprised at just how well Two Buck Chuck does in the Pepsi Challenge.

December 1, 2010 at 8:55 PM #634664sdrealtorParticipantGotta disagee wholeheartedly with NSR,
While personal tastes vary I have never been disappointed with any wine rated 90 or above by WS or Parker that I paid $30 or less for. While they may not be perfect for my palate they tend to be well made and well balanced wines.If you buy in tasting rooms as a novice you will undoubtly end up with a bunch of sweet wines you will never find the time to drink again. Prices in tasting rooms are the highest anywhere. Most wines I purchase are 25 to 50% below what they sell for in tasting rooms.
As for BevMo be careful when they have their buy 1 get another for 5 cents sales. Those wines are usually worth less than 5 cents.
