$150ish for everything, ranging from $35-$15.
>>20942311Some of those are pretty good but you overpaid for all of them by quite a lot.
***$135ish without picrel, I forgot I got another one of these and didn't include it in OP >>20942314 the dolcetto at $35 might be a bit steep but it's hard to find good italian shit where I live. might open the malbec or sauv blanc later tonight, each were under $15.
>>20942311You enjoy italian wines? I've not had good luck with them, always go back to France. Maybe I'm just conditioned to like what I'm used to.
Hi Stewart! How is dog?
>>20942332growing up my house almost exclusively drank italian wines so i'm partial to it. I'm the opposite as you, I whiffed on sooo many awfully disappointing vin rouge this summer :( french whites and bubbles have been fabulous, some of my favorites for sure.
>>20942311>ViettiEven when you're drinking barbera roero arneis is living in your head.
>>20942420You're parents were Italian alcoholics who gave you wine as a kid? Thats fucked up bro
>>20942463nta but normal people let their teenagers have a small glass of wine at holiday dinners, you're probably some kind of southern evangelical freak who never saw alcohol until you were 21 and turned into a raging violent drunk and think everyone is like you
>>20942463>bro your parents let you have WINE? as a KID?I know you've never wanted to, but were you even allowed to go outside?
>>20942470No, child, I'm not. No, child, I did. No, child, I did not. And, no child, I don't.
>>20942541I'm sorry your parents made you like this. I'm sure you are too
just opened the 2o22 Doña Paula Malbec. it's acceptable but not as good as picrel which I got a week or two ago from the same store for a very similar price. would highly recommend picrel, outstanding QPR and just a great expression, great quality.
>>20942546There is nothing wrong with me, child. I am sorry for nothing except your stupidity.
>>20942564I feel the same way about argie malbec as I do about aussie wine. too many times someone has said "but this isn't like the other malbecs" and too many times it wasn't good
>>20942602Admittedly I haven't done my deep dive into aussie wine yet. I'm finding the entry level malbec coming out of Uco Valley (along with some other high altitude vineyards around Mendoza) are pretty consistent in style and flavor profile with some variation in quality. I'm coming to the realization that argentina simply produces too much malbec to assume the wine will be consistent in any way as you move from one region to the next -- except maybe in color--i've tried enough slamdunk entry level malbec from Uco Valley to feel confident spending $40-$50ish on a nicer midlevel malbec from the same region. I don't love picrel but at $15 I dont feel like i'm getting ripped off and i'd buy this again before trusting some random california or french red asking for the same price.
>>20942634> except maybe in colorbut even now i'm noticing this Doña Paula is one of the lightest in color and least opaque Malbec i've come across. you can just barely make out the shape of the wine capsule laying on the ground underneath the glass.
>>20942463Not that anon, but I always had a small glass of wine with dinner if my parents were having wine with the meal.Is that not a normal thing?
>>20942634You're a multimillionaire with generational wealth and you're not even 30. Why are you complaining about the prices of poor people wine?
>>20942700I'm not rich yet and life is too short to drink bad wine.
>>20942311>new zealander and south american wineEw
>>20942634>>20942647why are you brown?
>>20942733I spend a lot of time outside and it's very sunny where I live
>>209427312023 deep down sauvignon blanc is lights out delicious, very highly recommended under $25.
>Matteo Correggiado you know that (s)correggia means "fart" in italian
>>20942311>Vietti and Giacosa apparently good producers>have seen that Roero Arneis around, probably good - Arneis is underrated anyway>Central Otago Pinot can be good, shit label though>Argentine Malbec usually decent for the price but not too interesting, seems to be medal fodder but at least it's 'high altitude'>never seen this Marlborough SB before but usually find them too vulgarOverall I'd say 7.5/10. Would've given higher marks for more interesting wines.
>>20942463flyover scum detected
>>20942311If the Marlborough doesn't have juicy stonefruit on the palate then don't bother with it again, it's the only reason to drink it>>20943053>at least it's 'high altitude'Could be worse; could be "high gravity"
>>20943190>Could be worse; could be "high gravity"lmao, have you actually ever seen that on a wine?
>>20943053Does *anyone* make good SB (or CB for that matter) outside of france? Maybe I just have dunning kruger but it seems to me white wines (other than maybe chardonnay) are a lot more sensitive to terroir than red. My boomer relatives fucking love new zealand sauvignon blanc and I just cannot wrap my mind around why. I mean the more expensive stuff is not disgusting but every time I have it I'm like fuck me this was $45?
>>20942311you could get 15 banrock stations for that
>>20943263There's some great unoaked SB coming out of central coast cali and lodi but they're not cheap and at that price you can just get a really nice sancerre that won't disappoint.
>>20943289when did lodi become respectable anyway? it seems like they went straight from "ew yuck lodi?" to "ooooh lodi!"central coast never had that did they? or am I just showing how provincial I am
>>20943364no you're not wrong, there's lots of new AVA classifications and ongoing rule changes going on in these subregions where producers are trying to distinguish themselves. kind of like how languedoc is trying to get a bunch of new AOCs to recognize their quality in south france. just check the back label and if a lodi or santa barbara producer is going out of their way to get an AVA certification that can sometimes be the best indicator of quality.
>non-organic>the alcohol content increases absorption of carcinogenic pesticides>pays so much to kill himselfthis world runs of retard energy i guess
>>20943409all the italian ones are organic.
>>20943434that shit shouldn't cost over 12 bucks, you're getting goyimd 35 bux to get drunk one time, fuckin retard
>>20942314Pretty retarded thing to say if you dont know where he lives
>>20943437sure if I lived in piedmont I wouldn't have to pay more than $12 to find a nice dolcetto, but I don't. and i'm not paying to get drunk, i'm paying to share a nice bottle with someone and pair it with my weekend roast chicken.
>>20943458>and i'm not paying to get drunk,cope seethe and dilate
any greek wines to look into?
>>20943680No, it's just dark in there and full of liquid.
Any Kindzmarauli enjoyers here? Not a big fan of red wine but this one is nice and unique. Makes for a good gift wine since it's rarely known.
>>20943711When I dated a Georgian girl and she gave me delicious red wines, but I have no idea how to read the labels for this region.
>>20943263Any SB with barrel fermentation is a step above the rest, generally speaking>>20943257Marketers call it "fortified" wine instead :^)
>>20942647Are you an Italian gypsy or something? You have skin like a Bulgarian.
>>20944129sono mezzo polentano e mezzo terrone
>>20942463>americans
I put a couple of these in the wine rack this week. It's probably been 10-15 years since I last had this, but it was a good memory, so I picked up a couple of bottles.
>>20944276Amarone is delicious, definitely one of the safer premium wines to splurge on.
>>20944276Also grabbed a couple of types of Orin Swift. Ive not tried it before but it looked interesting. This one and a Pinot Noir. They had more that I was tempted to buy, but I dropped £1200+ on whisky last month so I decided to try and show some restraint.
>>20944308>>20944276Imagine being so rich that you can casually drop thousands on wine and liquor. What do you do for work?
>>20944336I work in the energy industry as an analyst, my salary is around £65k. My wife earns much more as an orthodontist, about £120k before expenses. We have relatively low monthly expenses, and I take full control of all the finances, so she has no idea that I spend that kind of money.
>>20944359you must have a really low cost of living because I can't imagine just casually buying such expensive alcohol for regular daily drinking even at 185k bongbux, did your parents buy you a house in cash or something?
>>20944359Based>>20944416It seems doable for nearly 200 GBP income even if renting. Assuming they don't have 2 kids to take care of.
>>20943263picked up this 2020 Foxen Chenin Blanc for $30 earlier today, i'll let you know how it is.
How long can wine last after it’s opened? I’ll recork it but I won’t put it in a fridge. Will it last 7 days?
>>20944731in my experience, a good red can still be drinkable after a week but the overwhelming majority of reds will lose a lot of its subtlety on the nose and palate after just a day or two and after a few days they can be completely oxidized.
>>20943263I've had good Chenin Blanc from South Africa and Australia. Sauvignon Blanc from Australia can also be good but the best ones I've tried were blended with Semillon a la Bordelaise.
>>20943680Xinomavro if you like Grenache/Nebbiolo and Assyrtiko if you like Albarino/Riesling. Great grapes.
>>20944276>>20944291>>20944308hello boomers!
