Apologies if this wine has been mentioned in this thread already but it is a favorite of ours. It's a $40 bottle that thinks it's a $100 bottle. SPOILER: It's not wrong.

Going back to the late '60s, I've been to all of the valleys quite a few times; and, if things are happy on the home front, would recommend always taking the wife along. If you can, time it so that you're not there when it's totally mobbed with other people, assuming such a thing is still possible. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Frankly, and this is from an old guy's jaded perspective, the whole Napa Valley scene peaked during the mid-80s to the mid-90s. That's not to say it's a destination to avoid; it will never be that. The climate alone, combined with the scenery, no matter the time of year, argues for a visit. I still stop in for a treatment at Dr. Wilkinson's every time I'm passing through, and that won't change either.

I put this on the LOL pic thread, but then realized it belongs here too. My logic is simple. It's not always about where it's from, how good it is, what color it is, or how much it costs. Sometimes it's just the fact that it's wine that matters most.
Good luck out there! |

I believe it! I think this one was around $50. Saving the good stuff (in theory) for a while…

O’Brien in Napa is one of my favorites. They make great wines. Only thing is the price as their Merlots alone go for $100 a bottle. As much as I love wine, it’s crazy to consume hundreds or thousands in a given week. A bottle or two for a special occasion is fine.

I was on the verge of buying a third wine 'fridge this weekend and decided I wouldn't. Lack of temp controlled storage space is the best way to keep wine buying sorta under control. (We have 2 small Eurocave's now.)

Good call. I have a 32 bottles fridge and 2 wooden racks carrying 24 bottles each. Because of them, I’ve kept racking up bottles. There are bottles on the floor now and I’m playing catch up. Having space makes it easier to just keep buying. I’m making it a point to keep things under control now.
