I'm drinking some cheap Mondavi that is ok. Had some Cirque du Vin last night that was much better.
Dry Creek The Mariner in my avatar is awesome.

Mods, thanks for moving the thread to the correct location. I had no idea we even had a "food and drink board".

Would you guys mind posting link associated with the wines?
I'm going to take a few notes and do a little research later this evening after work. I'm waiting for a fax so I have some down time at the moment.

Thanks for the link.
What do you gentlemen look for in a wine? Price, score, grape, location, smell etc...

Talk to me. My family travels to Buenos Aries every so often and I've had a lot of Malbecs they've brought back for me to try.
I've been hooked on Malbecs for years therefore you have my attention. What do you have?

If you want a decent resource for wine reviews, try cellar tracker: cellar tracker
Most of the professional reviews, or "shelf talkers" you'll see at wine stores are fricking useless, unless you know the palate of the reviewer. CT is useful to me because it generally represents people who love wine and have gone through the effort to post their tasting notes. I can search on specific wines I am interested in, which in all likelyhood will be reviewed by people who like the same kinds of wines I like. For example people who are posting tasting notes on Giacosa Barolos are probably going to be people who like and drink a lot of Barolo, hence their reviews to someone who likes Barolo are going to be valuable. Don't pay attention to the scores, read the actual descriptions because they will tell you more about if that reviewer likes things in wine that you like.
In the end your own palate is your best guide to discover what you like, but it's helpful to find references to keep you from making mistakes. I've found CT to be useful to me.

That website looks busy but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. It's always good to find a group with specific Interests (taste) in order to learn and understand win that is mostly geared towards my liking.
I'm always open for suggestions.
I've always liked full bodied heavier tasting alcohol. Single Malt Scotch and dry spicy wines. I've not been able to get into the Whites at this point in time. I don't even care for the smell for starters, ha.

The Cinq Cepages has become one of my favorites after having it a couple times. Actually picked up a 2006 for valentines day.

glass...I had a bottle of J. Lohr in my hand at Martin's a couple of weeks ago since you recommended it. But then I ended up putting it back when I came across the Mollydooker Two Left Feet that's also been recommended on here. It was the best sub $25 wine I've ever had. Have you gotten a chance to try 14 Hands cab yet? I'm curious to get your opinion on how it matches up to J. Lohr.
