the wine thread( post your favorite wine) or what you are drinking now
I am drinking a Xplorador cabernet sauvignon 2004 central valley chile.
not sure if its my favorite..
but it is very good.
I would give it 4 out of 5 stars.
Feel free to turn me on to other good wines
I have been fond of the malbec's lately

1. Tisdale
It's a great alternative to Two Buck Chuck at a comparable price.

The Chardonnay is out of this world. The Merlot is too good to be believed. My wife just opened the Shiraz, and I'm about to pour a glass.

2. Barefoot Chardonnay.
Someone turned me onto this at Christmas and I have to say, it is delicious and cheap as all get out. Very buttery, which I like in a white wine.

13. I love their sparklings.
(aka champagne). Comparable to some of the Moet et Chandons I've had (and at a fraction of the cost.)

10. Homemade Pinot Noir
1997 second pick from a block in the Carneros district right on the county line between Napa and Sonoma. It tastes great and the Governor didn't get one nickel of revenue from it!
