What's your favourite wine?

[LG2TK]

1000 Stories bourbon barrel aged Zinfandel

[Giles]

And this is outstanding for the price......

Think that’s a common misconception with Riesling. Imagine that GV is sweeter?

also that Riesling is apparently best enjoyed in 2042, so leave one in the cellar please

Btw….you coming to LA at the end of the month? Northern California grows to world class products…..one of them is great wine from Napa. You and Giles like good wine?

[Alex]

@jimcord we both enjoy good wine, yeah. One of my fave CA winemakers is Ridge, not sure if you are familiar?

@Alex said in What's your favourite wine?:

Got this to go with a venison ragu I'll be making tonight. Thought of you @ROman and your favourite grape

@Alex said in What's your favourite wine?:

And to get back on topic, i think Ridge is my favourite 'treat' wine that I have had from the USA. This was my third, and I have loved them all. More than I would normally spend on a bottle to drink at home, but worth it when you feel like splashing out

@jimcord

[jimcord]

Lol, they make great wine! So the Ridge you like is a Zin, you mainly a Zin guy or into Cabs, Barbera? Ever heard of Louis Martini Lot #1? Can you get Ridge easily in the UK? What the cost there for it?

[Alex]

@jimcord I like every ridge I have tried, but I think my fave is the cab - just thought this Zinfandel would work with what I was cooking that night, and also it made me think of @ROman

It's very much on the top end of what I would spend for wine not in a restaurant here, certainly not an every week bottle.

Never heard of Louis Martini Lot #1, but it looks like a great American Cab Sav, looking at it on my wine app

@Alex Nice, I liked the Ridge Zin. And that is my favorite grape.
