I've never been to Tony's, but when people start telling me Penfold's Australian Reserve Shiraz costs $60 at Tony's, I have to laugh because I can get it for $19.00 at Goody Goody.

Wine is like cigars: a good wine is a wine you like.

I'm into Spanish reds right now, with LaPosta and Crios producing some rich and nicely priced Bonardas and Malbecs. The Vina Alarba Old Vine Grenache is also surprisingly good at 10 bucks a bottle.

If you can find it, treat yourself to Descendientes De J. Palacios 2000 Bierzo Corullón.

It has been a secret bargain for a generation.  Funny thing is, since the socialists took over in Spain in spite of the peasants by and large that produce wine, the same wines I used to adore taste funky to me now.

I'm contemplating starting a blog about how politics, sex, romance, moods, prejudice, and economics affect the ability to pleasure wine.

Ever had a spectacular date and the beverage was a pitiful, rotgut wine that didn't taste so bad?

Happened to me, married now.
