Thanks aldante for defending my future ex wives, the women of cnbc. Maria, Erin, Becky, Diana, et al. finally some smart women we can lust after. Have you ever seen an interview of some actress you thought was hot and once you realize what an idiot she is, it ruins it forever. Not so with the hottie smarties of CNBC.

kewp, obviously you are looking for high resveritrol, region is as important as grape variety. Pinot is not a magic bullet, california pinots have very low resveratrol compared to european wines (spanish and french are the highest0. Oregon, New York and Florida reds are much higher than california. If you are looking specifically for health, high resveratrol and price (as opposed to taste), then go to trader joes and get $3-5 anything red from france or spain, they have the highest levels (tj’s has cheap malbecs and they are high in it). It is those countries that are the reason science has been searching for answers to the french paradox. Ultimately they will isolate it and sell it as a supplement, the current supplements are irradic and unregulated (plus pills never really work as good as food). The reason scientists have been trying to figure this out is that the average french person who smokes, eats a high fat diet and drinks a bottle of wine a day is healthier than an american who doesn’t smoke, excercises and eats a healthy diet. Most of our wines are very low in resveratrol because it isn’t so much the varietal but the exposure of the living grapes to bacteria. The grapes produce the resveritrol to fight off the invader and the skins are fermented in red wine (not much with whites). The amount needed, which wines have the most (recently they found extremely high levels in muscadine grown in florida and n. carolina) are changing with each study. A study just released showed that mice started on it late in life didn’t live longer like mice raised on it from a young age (which may explain the french paradox as they start much younger as wino’s than we do, our teenagers drink beer). To be safe, just in case they find out it is another component, experiment with the french and spanish wines and dont drink the same wine every night for a year, mix it up a little, just in case you find out later the one you picked didn’t have in it what worked. For $7, you can get a bottle of mouton cadet at trader joes, it is the budweiser of france. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resveratrol#cite_note-PNS-77

As far as boxes go, I’m not ready yet so I can’t make a reccomendation. I have recently accepted synthetic corks and screw caps, so I am making strides, but mylar packaging and i haven’t come to an understanding just yet, perhaps in time we will. I also think the market for pinot in boxes is too small for many producers to do it. Pinot is a pain in the ass to make, after all that work, winemakers will be reluctant to box and dump it unless it is bad.

One other thing to worry about, if they box it, then they probably ferment in steel. Go old school until the research narrows it down, because those healthy 80 year old smokers in france didn’t drink steel fermented boxed wine. It may end up being the naps anyway, just drink what you like.

Pablo, that place sounds fantastic, I love mussels, will have to give it a try.

Since you are going to costco, also grab a cameron hughes. Each Costco has a different selection, the lot 100 Stagg’s Leap is due out any day, if they have it get it and report back. I’m dying to know if it is any good, more than likely I’ll be sipping a glass in the parking lot, ready to buy a case if it rates. Let me know if your friends are impressed with ghost pines (I entered my favorite cameron in that tasting that ghost pines ran away with, so I think they will enjoy it).

Here is a funny little video from 2006 shot in San Diego of an interview with Cameron on the local news. They cut the piece short but check out the fourth piece of advice (find a good local wine shop) a theme running through this thread.

Rich, thanks for chiming in, aren’t you glad the election is over and we can can go off topic with something that really matters, like this.

Two final tips, decant when possible and always drink from a big glass (reidel, spegleau or mondavi’s waterford) I can’t express how important it is, especially to those just discovering the joys of red wine, the benefits of a large, quality vessel. Also, never wash your glass with soap or in the dishwasher, just rinse it by hand with water, hell I only do it weekly. Most of you know this, but the newbies will benefit from soap residue free tasting. I can’t tell you how many times a friend gives me a wine to taste and I can’t escape the subtle hint of electrasol or palmolive.

My docs were ordered today, right after I renegotiated a rate .5 below what it was last week, my savings were close to $90 a month. I’m not borrowing a ton of money but moving my P&I from near $1600 to $1500 is actually about a 6-7% in monthly savings, I’ll take it. If someone said I didn’t have to pay my water and gas bill for the next 30 years, I’d do that to, in effect, that is the same thing as what happened today. Dumb luck is awesome.

People buy on payment, not price.
