Well said. A while back Josh wrote a similarly great post about there being a difference between liking wine and appreciating the wine. If I knew where it was would link to it. It’s another good analogy to look at the difference between “casual wine drinkers” and “students of wine”

December 2, 2010 at 3:38 PM #634930DWCAPParticipantSo 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?
-no, but I dont buy a whole lot of wine. However, if you had a few examples, I would be happy to test your theory. π

I’m not sure if you can find the 2008’s anymore but the 2009’s are still available. They seem to offer 3 lines of Pinot’s that you can buy at stores: Verna’s for $20, Estate for $25, and Carrie’s for $40(?). You can find the first 2 at the Wine Exchange (www.winex.com).
My favorite Pinot used to be the Lucia Gary’s Vineyard Pinot Noir. But that costs about $45 and I think Melville’s Pinot’s are just as good but at a lower price.
I tend to like my Pinot’s balanced with a little more fruit and subdued earthiness. That fits the profile of all of the recommendations above.
As for white wines, I’m not that into them but do drink them occasionally. With that in mind, I did like Melville’s 2008 Chardonnay’s (Verna’s for $17 and Estate for $23). I also liked Chateau St. Jean’s 2007 Belle Terre for $20. I don’t like “oaky” Chardonnay’s so none of these are “oaky”.
