Over the past few days I had two terrible cheap wines:

Just had a 1990 Chateau Leoville-Poyferre, Saint-Julien. Mmm.

had this for dinner last night, wow. Tastes great, very "creamy" At $35, hard if not impossible to find a champagne that matches it.

Cakebread Cabernet is an outstanding wine... if you can find it. Most go to restaurants and will list for an easy 100+. If you have a good wine shop, ask them to order it there. Pick up a case, you won't regret it.

Great site. Thanks! Some years are better than others and are harder to get. An awesome wine.

out of work really early (score) so I'm celebrating with this:

Great stuff, one of the first acutally interesting Beaujolais I've had. It has a much stronger backbone than the others I've tried and certainly isn't overly acidic or flabby. Well done.

They are all pretty mediocre in my opinion, especially at their price point (in Canada).

It's ubiquitous. You can buy it at many grocery stores.

Grocery stores can't sell non-beer stuff in NY

They sell pizza rolls instead.

It's not outstanding. It's decent. It'd be a definite buy if it cost half the price it does. But at what they charge, it's kind of outrageous.

I had the '08 about a month ago and it was doing very well for a $20 bottle. Cant make out the vintage on your bottle. My wife and I had another K Lynch Bojo last week, Thevenet '09 at a restaurant and it was singing.

Had an 05 Merry Edwards Coopersmith today.
