The Official Wine Thread

So what you really hate is the super-clever naming. Py, pi, omghahahahhahaha. I'm willing to allow him some self-indulgence since his wines are good.

ohhhhh, like circumference and circle radiuses. That's deep.

At least the wine is good. That's all that matters in the end.

I'm assuming I'd really enjoy that wine, and I hope you did, but I hate that label.

Just thinking the same...

Had a Guy Breton Regnie 2009 with Thanksgiving that was excellent.

Amazing value. $9 kind of craps out after about a day though so gotta drink it up.

Where did you buy?

A peach. $13

And again, where did you buy?

Always looking for good value for occasions where busting out better stuff is not sensible.

A place where I go for cheap bord finds it is called BQE wine and liquor. I bought all of the 2005's and they only have 2006's now though.

Almost nobody from outside of VA is allowed to ship to VA anyway. Was hoping it was a national chain.

VA has some draconian liquor laws, that's for sure. If you are moving into the Commonwealth with a reasonable collection (greater than 1 gal), you have to fill out a form documenting all the wine/spirits you are bringing in and get a special permit. Violation is up to a year in jail, confiscation of your vehicle, etc.

Incidentally, if you were closer to Charlottesville, I would recommend my friend's store to you, but it's a haul from Fairfax County.

After a string of clunkers, tonight, finally something good: 99 Rochioli Estate Pinot. Really wonderful, broad on the palate, still firm acidity, fruit holding, and lots of spice. A great example of a RRV pinot improving with age, just a lovely wine.

Drinking Sottimano Barbaresco, 2003 Cottá vineyard. BIG and rich.
