Quote:No problem man. I'm by no means an expert but I'll try to dig into some good wines I can recommend you. I feel more confident recommending wineries I know that make good wine in general than I do specific wines but I can at least get you started. But you might have to give me a few days to get back to you, I'm dealing with some weather problems this weekend and it's keeping me pretty busy.

In the meantime though, would you mind letting me know a price range you'd be happy with?

No problem, take your time. As far as price goes, we keep on the main wine aisles. We don't venture to the case where they have the really expensive stuff. So I guess 30 and under. There are 2 wines we buy fairly often and one runs about 17 and the other runs about 10. There have been times we spend 20 on a bottle and poured two glasses, each took one sip and we both hated it. That's why we stick to the few we know we like.


We've got a local winery in st augustine. We did their tour which was pretty cool. They try to teach you a bit about wine, I learned a bunch. But, I have also forgotten a lot too. We tried to apply what we learned in trying other bottles but it's clear, they steered us wrong or we messed it up. I thought they told us that the high the alcohol content the dryer the wine would be. So we tried one that had a fairly low alcohol content and it was too dry, yet the one we like has more alcohol.. Go figure.
