Does anyone else have serious, long term relationships with winemakers?
I remember mostly drinking Smoking Loon Cabernet Sauvignan in my 20s, and then moved on to Our Daily Red Organic wines.
Left them for a really good Austrian wine Meinklang Burgenland Red. It became difficult to find and so went back to Our Daily Wines.
Now, these are becoming difficult to find as the few stores that sell it here are always out.
Decided to finally try a Josh Cellars Cabernet tonight after watching Jimmy Kimmel seemingly enjoying it on Club Random podcast. It's not bad!
What wines do you recommend???

It's so good isn't it??!! I have some in the wine fridge. I'm tempted to open it. It is my birthday eve after all1 -
My long term relationship with wine maker and recommendation :
A fav is Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac - a good friend has worked there for years and lots of memories sipping in that vineyard and shipping wine home.
Always have a few bottles in the house 🍷.. smooth, biodynamic -dry red Bordeaux.
All Bordeaux I’ve had from the Pauillac area has been great actually.
A wine map of Pauillac below…(most of the chateaus below have bottles avail online.) cheers ! 😉

A few great wines I have had - All Pinot Noir from either the Russian River Valley or the Wilamette Valley - William Sellyms, Paul Hobbs, Enroute and a new one - Summer Dreams Stargazing.1

@Alinouveau2 I have another bottle of the Josh Cellars for this weekend. I like that it is easy to find and a really good price.(just $12 here!)
Hope you had a good birthday! 🎂🥳
I'm going to look out for wines in the above posts, too!1 -

Tonight I am having a glass of Meinklang Burgenlandred 2022***** 💕 my favorite that I finally found at a liquor store about 30 minutes from where I live.
A few weeks ago I tried the Ruffino Prosecco that was **** for the price.0 -
I've been looking for Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac, Castillo de Almansa, and Summer Dreams Stargazing, but no luck here. .0

F you like sparkling Josh has a good one and a nice Rose as well. We had some bread and butter sparkling last week. It's nice and quite light.1

I subscribe to nakedwines.com Odine Chatten grows some great grapes in the russian river valley. Karen Birmingham makes an awesome cab1

My favorite Meinklang Burgenland Red is being stocked again in my old neighborhood. It's a half hour drive, though. I'm going to check out online wine suppliers. That might be worth it!0

So glad I don't drink! lol0

I haven't found any indigenous wine yet, this week and I'm trying to stick with mostly food/drinks from the Americas. If I can find a decent muscadine wine, maybe...0

Luckily you have lots of wine regions in the USA. A nice Oregon Pinot noir goes well with turkey.1 -
I love barefoot or Sutter homes Moscato...
Stella Rose is also a really good too...1 -

I tried the Bread and Butter Pinot Grigio, and it was smooth and light tasting. I had bought it for a recipe calling for dry white wine since it was on sale. I was surprised how good it was for the price!0 -

Bread and Butter makes some nice wines.
I have a wine fridge full of Chardonnay. For some reason people kept bringing it as a hostess gift. I'll be trying to ifd load some tomorrow at our post Christmas party1 -
