I went to the country, and while I was gone, I lost control of my body functions, on the lower headed lady's front lawn. I'm so ashamed, but I'm a wino man, I can't help myself!

Those Oregon Pinot's are tasty.

Obviously PowderDan once worked in a winery as a cork soaker.

I am def not an aficionado, as I will partake in glass of bare foot. But from my uncivilized palette, I have tried a few organic style reds, and thought they were smooth and tasty. Also, here is a nice dessert wine (it is SO GOOD, SERIOUSLY try it)-Porto Cocoa-I have confirmation from people who actually know good from bad, and this is one of the best wines I've ever had the joy of trying.

With a come-on like that, how could I not watch the video? But clicking on your link brought only this message:

"Climb and then drink fine wine"! I Agree

Richard brought a case of Fiddletown Zin with us to Josh a few weeks ago. What a fine way to celebrate a great day.

Was given a bottle of red from Ojai vineyards this past summer. Wish I could remember the variety! I think it was a pinot. Remarkable. I had a nice big balloon glass and wandered around TPR getting my co-workers to try it. Took all night to finish that bottle, it was so good everyone just sipped and went yummmmm.

There is a wine bar in Seville that served me 3 different glasses of Spanish red, and all were incredibly yummy and complex. With a full belly of Tapas, my bill was only 20E with a healthy tip for the serving gal, who knew her wine.

Rescued a '58 petite Rothschild from a crazy horse owner who was giving it to his champion stud in the silver cup he won that day. Damn, that was good, even with a little horse slobber thrown in!

Got to taste another '58 pR with roomies one night. Between 4 or 5 of us, it still took awhile to finish that bottle.

Had another really good wine given to me as a tip this past summer, but can't remember what it was. Saved the cork somewhere.

There's a new white out of SA, Trapiche Torrentes, not expensive, but a blind taste will have you wondering if it's a Zin! Try it!

I have been fortunate to have many great wine moments in my life, and I'm no aficionado!

I had this one a couple of years ago for my 50th. Best wine I've ever had for the first two hours it was opened - then gave up the ghost.
BTW - you supertopian wine geeks should come visit us up here in the "Napa of the north" - some decent climbing nearby as well..

My absolute favorite Winery, Tobin James in Paso Robles:


self-portrait, wino at work

The manager there, Ben, gave me a couple bottles of Zin for a bunch of aerial photos. That was damn nice of him, and he didn't have to do it. I'm happy to give these photos away for nothing ( especially considering most of them stink ).

Tobin James Ballistic Zinfandel is a hell of a good wine $16.

Lambrusco baby, and not that cheap crap that went away a while ago as it should have. I'm quaffing a really nice Lini 910 rose' right now after a hard and hot evening working in the kitchen. Mouth filling and fruity, but dry enough to leave a clean, long finish. Very refreshing. It's nice to try something different and good once in a while.
