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???

    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 ! 😉

    @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!

    Yay glad you're enjoying the Josh. I always try to keep some in stock

    Today we had a Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc which was quite tasty

    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.

    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.
