    Maybe you should drink some instead of pouring it onto a portable wooden platform.

      Am I crazy and not using the correct word? Jeez, I thought I'd be funny and how I just look like a dummy

        Actually, I believe that's in Kewaunee County.

          Have to give a thumbs up to the 2005 Coppola Claret (Cabernet). His stuff has come a long way since he bought his first vineyard. $14.

            Have you all seen the movie 'Sideways'?............NO MERLOT!

            Actually, I am partial to the reds. The best domestics that I regularly have, (got a glass in hand) have come from the Russian River area of Sonoma, CA. Two in particular are Hahn and Ravenswood. I like their Cabernet Savignon. Rabbit Run is good too.

            There's some really good reds from South Africa and Australia, but I'd rather buy US.

            Having said that.........my all time favorite has been (we had two bottles, one remains unopened) is Chateau Le Bon Pasteur 1993, it's a blend of 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc. Am waiting for a special occasion to uncork that one. Perhaps SB next year?

            When the weather gets warm, there are times I'd rather drink a white. My favorite is Ecco Domani, it's an Italian Pinot Grigio.......'softer' than a Chardonay. I've never had anyone not like it.

            So that's it.......my very uncomplicated take on wine.

            Another 'wine' movie is 'A Good Year'.........excellent. Salut!
            I just fell completely in love with you after reading this post. And for EVERYONE else here that responded, I feel really stupid, in that, I have never even sipped wine before, and I can't believe all you have and know stuff about it. Very impressive, and where have I been all my life?

                Well, maybe not in the MORNING, but by midafternoon (with a couple tylenol) it should be ok...

                  Anyone a scotch drinker here? I am trying to get down on the stuff but its intense. I haven't tried a single malt yet, only some mid-range mixed malts.
                  Grow a pair of balls and drink some Glenlivet.
                  P.S. If you can't stomach wine, you definately can't stomach scotch

                    Glenlivet is good, but also be sure to try Laphroaig.

                        Perhaps wait a couple days before the wine sampling commences...
