The grapes are grown next to Chateau Souvarin who's Cabernet sells for $85. One sip and you will understand price does not dictate quality.

However, this year the Winos are adhering to a strict “No on Prop ‘08″ policy — in other words, say no to Nouveau.<BR/><BR/>Here’s a roundup of our recent Beaujolais tasting:<BR/><BR/>http://youngwinosofla.com/?p=635<BR/><BR/>Good call on the Pierre-Marie Chermette!

As for sherry, I actually think a Manzanilla would be perfect with turkey. And the tempranillo--well, what can I say. It's the most versatile grape we're not drinking here in the US--especially if it's made in Spain, where the style tends to be lighter and fresher.Dr. Debshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02892131332003571463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-5033688052881583852008-11-08T02:43:00.000-08:002008-11-08T02:43:00.000-08:00The MacMurray pinot is a solid choice.

The Codorniu Rose is usually around 13 or so and a great wine with nice body for the holidays. Otherwise, wish I could participate this year in the T-day wine choices but we'll be in India during the big day! :) Now that will be quite the change for us!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
