with so little to go on, I can see the best of the worst have already arrived. I am enjoying a Gallo of Sonoma (as contrasted to what? a Gallo of East 42nt Street?) Cab Sab. vint. 1999 1/2. Well, it's red, and I think they used some kind of grapes in it, and it hasn't turned yet. Goes with Ritz crackers and a Sierra Nevada Porter (heavy on the Porter).I try to like the Chard's, with food of course, but the White Fumes are my preference in whites. (I try not to spend more than $13 for 750ml). But my turning from the fortified twist-offs happened a long time ago at a Christmas dinner hosted by a team of businessmen/doctors who had a few cases of the real Bordeaux. I confess that I may have had a drink or two of something before dinner, but I will never forget the first mouthful of that sweet nectar of the Gods. I have never since tasted anything like it.
It is my life-long quest to find that fountain of bliss. The problem with wine, you can't buy the good stuff, it has to find you.
