There is still four bottles of Old Speckled Hen and 3 bottles of Mackesson stout sitting on my kitchen counter awaiting your return.

You really think you can taste the difference between one red wine and another? Please! Chemically, they are almost indistinguishable. Anyone who pays more than $2.00 for a nice Charles Shaw Shiraz is crazy, but hey, it's your money. If you conduct a double blind test, between a nice two buck Chuck and one of those crazy over-priced reds like a 1990 Chateau Margaux, I'm sure you won't taste any difference. I mean tannins are tannins, and phenols are ... well, you get it. I just feel it's my duty to dispel this crazy misinformation about there being a discernible difference between red wines.

If you trust your tongue why not trust your ears?

Any good Cabs or Zins worth mentioning? I like full bodied wines.

I prefer full-bodied wines myself, which is why I stick to reds. If you can find a Zin called Giuseppi & Luisa (by Marinelli), grab it. It's one the best I've tasted, and at 17.5% alcohol, leaves you feeling mighty nice. Other wines of note are the Iron Horse Cab, and anything by Porter Creek.

For the first time, I also bought a bottle that I intend to cellar for over a year -- to be opened on child #2's 1st birthday. It's a Christopher Creek Petit Syrah.

2x6, I really shouldn't even begin to tell you how ridiculous your statement was, even if it was meant in jest, which I'm not sure it was. Where did you hear that wines are chemically "almost indistinguishable? ... the same place you get your audio facts?

thanks guys. I'll have to look around for those. I’m a regular at one of the wine warehouses, they all know me by name and I usually walk out with a case of whatever they recommend. For the money, my favorite wineries are Silverado, Provenance, some Ridge zins, Stetzner, and the latest – a 2000 sterling Merlot. I’m saving a case of 97 Silver Oak for the 07 new year’s eve party.

Might be time for a red wine post……..

Cakebread is great. I went there last year and tried their wines. I think they were getting too many visitors, though, because now tastings are by appointment only.
