Even more so, need to look them up and stop by next time I am up visiting the area!

The Carmenere actually spawned my interest in the wines of Chile. As you say, they deliver consistent quality at great prices year after year and are available nearly anywhere. Hard to ask for more!

Last check in Beckett had my lot priced nice and hefty. Don&#039;t really want to know what it is all worth these days. I&#039;ll save it in hopes that my kids will still care. Nothing like the magic I remember of parents friends giving me a stack of cards and finding a Willie Mays (or McCovey). Funny, come to think of it, outside of Brewers the only players I &quot;collected&quot; were Willie McCovey and Will Clark. Obviously both Giants 1B and I now live in SF...Things that make you say hmmm. Sorry for the ramblings but love the baseball card talk! Now, who is willing to trade what wine for one of my prized Michael Jordan rookie cards?

Maybe not so relevant here as their Zins are my favorite but the Rocky Top and Fiddletown are both must tries. Top it off with the new &quot;Vicious&quot; label wines for less than $10 bones and I wish we had a Total Wines nearby!

If you make it down there to pick up a bottle of the &#039;06 do me a favor and ask their thoughts on the &#039;98...

Most of the time after the box arrives I send off a note to say thanks I received it and there is nary a response. After all the effort a simple email can really help change the direction of the conversation. A follow up offering to field any ongoing questions lets me know their job is to help me all the way through the process rather than just getting a box delivered.

Bummed I&#039;ll be missing out...

I&#039;ve also been wanting to try that Pine Ridge for a while, I&#039;ll grab it next time I at K&amp;L. As for safe calls, a riesling with a little residual sugar is about as safe as it gets. The one I like to get people to try is this <a href="http:\/\/jasonswineblog.com\/2009\/06\/09\/2007-navarro-edelzwicker\/" target="_blank">Navarro Edelzwicker</a> , a white Alsatian blend with Riesling as a component, but much more crisp. Too bad it is only available from the winery.

Have yet to find an offering here, knowing I have overly lofty expectations, that I&#039;ve enjoyed all that much. Perhaps this is my answer...

Both nice and fairly priced, affordable wines. Look forward to sharing notes with you guys.

On #2 I think you are spot on. The last thing these highly paid consultant wine makers need is a blogger telling them to tone down the oak. The thought alone makes me laugh... If you don&#039;t like the wine your drinking, find another. There are plenty more available!
