Glad to see a quick ctrl+F shows nobody is talking about Ernst & Gallo or Blossom Hill. Between the two of them i reckon they would make up 50% of the US wine sales here in London which is a bit of a worry.

Here is one of my favorite summer wines - Domaine Tempier Rose from Bandol. The current 2008 vintage is outstanding!!

Pete, glad you like the 7 Deadly zins, one of my best friends is the owner of the Winery. I am Teaching his son to climb now and we will be hitting the rock next week. Other Michael David wines are good too. Lodi has long been over looked and is now making a name.

I did not read the entire thread, but you might want to try Magito zinfandel. Magitowines.com.
Obscure wine. Superlative flavor gradient if enjoyed with a spicy meal. Plan to have a couple drinks left in the glass by the end of the meal. Starts robust, ends with a smooth plum perception.
It is known at BarbecueNight.com, the Fairbanks outdoor adventure and wine crowd weekly gathering.
Carry on....
Doug

just want to say i like the look of that wine cellar. reminds me of the one that my accountant built.
I just love to invite friends who know how to drink and share wine.
a good summer wine is "Peju Provence" from Napa!

haven't tried a breathable glass, looks gimicky to me. I do have a venturi wine aerator tho. Really opens the wine up!

Ben, wines from Bandol can be world class, but the cost...
Nearby Cassis is a better place to hang out if you like climbing limestone over the sea.

Red Car Wine's Heaven and Earth 2007 Pinot Noir was rated a very high 98 by Wine Spectator. I spent a year shooting this vineyard and was psyched when they ran my image on the bottle labels. Check it out on the September cover of Wine Spectator. I've yet to get my hands on this stuff.
