Throw in some Amarone while you’re at it and Sonoma Coast Pinot. I tasted some unbelievable boutique stuff last weekend: Siduri, Zepaltas, Loring, Baker Lane. Get your hands on it!
Cheers
Jessica

Wow, what a fantastic idea about which to ruminate! A great couple of posts, as well. I think that I’d like to try and expand my palate a bit, while also doing a sort of price-point comparison. I’d like to get 1 white and 1 red from 10 different wine regions around the world for $50 a bottle (excluding tax, I suppose). The regions of interest might be:

Burgundy
Bordeaux
Napa
Sonoma
Rioja
Porto
Marlborough
Barossa Valley
Barolo
Brunello di Montalcino
Barbaresco
Cote du Rhone

These are obviously sort of “macro” starting points. At that price range I should be able to get smaller appellation wines here and there, as well, particularly some whites. Anyhow…what a neat thought. Take care.

Excellent allocation. I’m drooling. Thanks for writing.
Best,
Jessica

A half case each of a few local favorites – Dr. Frank’s Rkatsiteli, Lakewood Vineyards Gewurztraminer, a mixed case of Channing Daughters wines and a bottle of McGregor Vineyards Black Russian, a blend of Saperavi and Sereksiya Charni, for the Wine Century Club meeting next spring.

Thanks for blogging about this interesting proposition, it was great to think about where I want my cellar to go next!
