Quote:Yes that helps a bit. There is waay more into it than I understand at this point haha. That also explains some of the wines that I've tried being too dry for my liking when I thought otherwise. Thanks for the info. Are any of the wines on the list made from your grapes?

No, I was picking wines from the Paso Robles area mainly. Their wines can compete with Napa wines but they're priced much better. Between like $20-30 but really really good. But now that you mention it, that might be more than you want to spend just to try out stuff.


My area is more like $6-15 wines. They're more blended wines which is how they get them cheaper, but some are ok -- I drink them and I can't tell much of a difference but I'm not really a wine guy. I just grow them :p


Anyway, I haven't sold green grapes for the last two years but when I do I usually go through either Gallo which I'm sure everyone has heard of, or Constellation Wines who I like more. But each sell wine under a 1000 different labels so it's hard to keep track of what's what. Barefoot is popular and my grapes go in that, some other ones I can remember off the top of my head are Dancing Bull, Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi, Taurus, and Wild Horse or something like that.


They both have web sites that you can browse all the different wines though.
