New to the board and have noticed that there is an ongoing appreciation thread for both distilled spirits and tasty brew.
Please don't burn me at the stake for asking but has there ever been a "Wine" appreciation thread in the past? Has it been tried and failed? Simply not enough wine enthusiast on the boards?
Anyhow... anyone wanting to strike up a conversation related to delicious grape juice... I'll be checking in on the thread.
Quite a few Napa allocations opening up this month. Anyone taking advantage of any offers?

I passed my level 2 sommelier in 2008 while still living in Louisiana. The wine bible is a great read for a somewhat beginner and very approachable. The key to learning is drink...a lot...and think about what you're drinking...smell stuff that might associate with certain wines and see if you catch those aromas (i.e. Dark fruits for cabs/syrahs, bramble red fruits for Pinot noir, stone fruits/citrus for whites).
On allocated items, I scored a bottle of Sine Qua Non Dark Blossom Syrah and Stock Syrah on Tuesday...gonna lay those down for a decade or more.

No. I´m going to have to delve into the American offering (I´m an Old World consumer, specifically Spain and the odd French or Portuguese sauce).

I've got a sh!tload of wine coming from Napa/Sonoma, but I don't know if I would classify them as "offers"

Ahhh... the great wine debate. I have tried many wines: reds, whites, rosés, expensive, cheap, new , old and found them to all taste not very good. This is blasphemy to wine connoisseurs, but the only two wines that I think taste good are Reunite Lambrusco and homemade muscadine.

I had a magnum of 2005 Swanson Oakville Merlot with a roasted guinea hen and roasted vegetables last night. That was one big funky, delicious bottle of wine that was very ready to drink and all enjoyed it. I have two left and they will be opened this holiday season. It's time. Will do a bone in leg of lamb with one.
