My special wines are mostly memory wines. The first wine Melissa and I had and enjoyed together....I went and bought every bottle I found of that vintage. Then there's this Coriolle I found long, long ago. A co-worker and I had the last of that vintage shipped from various spots in PA....because it was the last of the wine. Then there's a bottle from a Hawaiian winery, which Melissa and I tasted there and enjoyed. Stuff like that. Less of a price requirement, more of a sentimental and enjoyment requirement.

Hah. Across from the wine rack in the dining room I have a big bar server filled with single malts. Probably about 25 different single malts in there, plus some clear ones (VOX mostly, hey....I like it), some dark rums, some bourbons, some cognacs, and one tequila.

You have some pretty good wineries right there in the Lehigh Valley. Support the local economy.

vet - I try to.....but I just don't find myself enjoying PA wines all that much. I love tasting in the area and always pick up a few bottles before I leave - sometimes much more if something really catches my eye - but I mostly grab bottles from California and Argentina. I typically enjoy super tuscans, cabs, and malbecs more than anything. I also love some zesty Chilean wines.

Argetine Malbecs, and Chilean Cabs, Malbecs, and Merlots are awesome.

Trapiche makes a killer Malbec.

Casillero del Diablo has an excellent Merlot, and a pleasing Cabernet.

Momentos had a great Merlot this past year.

And Casa Lapostolle has a cabernet called Cuvee Alexandre that is awesome.

Los Vascos cabernet's are hit or miss...but when they are on, they are wonderful.

And there are a ton more...that region has really picked up their quality and production over the past several years.

watchurai - You have good taste for bold reds.

I love a bold, meaty, even spicy red wine. The more it tastes like chewing on an oak branch, the better I like it.

Not a white fan, save a few chardonnays I have enjoyed over the years. Occasionally I get a nice, oaky, round flavored chard. that just kills.

No stainless aging for me, though. Hate the metallic flatness of the flavors it imbues.

My built-in, 36-bottle wine cabinet in the kitchen is less than half full. In the words of King Leonidas, "that's a bit of a problem."

Not a big fan of overly-oaky wines. In lesser expensive wines, oak is often used to mask the flavor of inferior grapes.

No trades. Melissa signed me up for a wine of the month club, and the selections thus far have been fantastic....while increasing my wine selection at home.
