Obviously I'm a little bored at work today!!
You and I have very different palates....nothing wrong with that. I like Argyle Pinot!! And judging from the size of their production a lot of others do too.

I really don't drink a lot of domestic wine so I'm no help suggesting anything.

I guess some wines can handle that kind of alcohol but I don't really understand why it has to be.

I worked for a very high end french winemaker for a couple of years (think first growth Bordeaux @ $1500/bottle.)Of the wine I made of this project he was very clear. "This wine better not be over 14%...we are making a wine to be had with food, it's not an aperitif. There is nothing wrong with the other, but it is not a food wine."

I've always taken that to heart when I do what I do.

  He was the director of winemaking at LaTour (he also made D'Yquem in his day) And no I just got paid in dollars.
  
  Interesting because this man is a sweet smart pleasant guy. Not always selling himself like his much more well known consultant neighbor in Bordeaux.

  So True. I always tell customers not to listen to reviews...even if they are good ones for my wines. It really only matters if you like it.
  
  That being said, I still feel like I have to submit them.

    ...guess it's the same in audio.
