My husband and I and another couple love, love wine and we started our own little wine club tasting. We have also gone to Napa/Sonoma to visit wine country. We are also big believers in the Riedel wine glass - trust me a glass can make a difference in tasting wine.
We love all wines but some of our favs:
2005 Terra Valentine Amore (Napa) a great Sangiovese wine
2003 Domaine Drouhin (Oregon) a great Pino Noir
Anything from the Robert Sinsky vineyards in Napa (we also belong to their wine club)
Love the Piesporte Rieslings (Max Ferd Richter) and also one called Freiherr Von Schleinitz (Slatestone Riesling) Germany 2002 - there are also dry Rieslings (not as sweet) Rheingau 2005 Weingut Robert Weil Estate Riesling
A great fun Halloween wine: Vampire Wine actually from Transylvania; plus I also love 7 Deadly Zins
If you like port: Quinta Das Heredias Porto Tawny from Portugal
Icewine: Inniskillin (Canada) or Ohio or upstate NY make fabulous Icewines.
Cakebread and Madonna Estate wines are also excellent.
If you love Organic: La Cantina - Pizzolato Pinot Grigio - Italy is excellent.
Whew - I can go on and on about wine.
Both Spain and Portugual make excellent wines - the Rioja wines yummy
French: White French Chardonnay 2005 Petit Chamblis
