        We have some daily drinkers and some that would be considered more expensive but all in all, at least for me, the best wine isn’t really about the wine … it’s about who you’re sharing it with, and where you’re drinking it.

          @Ikeaparty: It's funny, I wouldn't say I have a sweet tooth, and for most of my wine drinke career "dry" would have been one of the first descriptors I'd have chosen for wine I liked.

          But the rieslings that combine sweetness and acidity have really taken me by surprise - of course there has to bee enough acidity to balance the sweetness, but when it is there magic happens. If you get the chance try some really old ones. I recently picked up some spätlese frem the eighties. Some of them were gone, but those that weren't were super exciting. The sweetness mellows somewhat, and the taste can become very complex.

          @Brandrea: I wish I could say the same - I'd choose company over wine any day, but event in the best possible company, in the most charming place, I wouldn't enjoy bad wine - and probable drink something else instead:-)

                    @Alex You can never go wrong with Rombauer. That was the Zin you guys had at my house.

                        Here in SoCal we call Rombauer Chardonnay, 'Cougar Juice' . It attracts a certain 'ahem'....demographic.

                        Settle down easy......

                          @jimcord the rombauer was great. I think I liked The Ridge blend the best, then the primitivo then the zin in that descending order, actually!
