3. Rutherford Hill Merlot 2003.
It runs for $25, but it's the best Merlot I've ever had. It's got the taste of dark chocolate and coffee and it has the aroma of cherries and chocolate.

10. Yeah, I had just come back from my trip to FL
and was preparing to return to work today after 2 weeks off.

Believe it or not, I still have 4 weeks vacation on the books... so maybe there will be another chance.

I am sorry to have missed you all.

7. I had a sore back and my wife massaged it while I complained about my back & ate ice cream.
That was a really good whine.

8. A friend of mine brought over some homemade blueberry wine.
It was really awful and stained everyone's mouths purple.

(Okay, that wasn't what you asked for, but it WAS about wine at least!)

12. My buds turned me into a wino
We usually drink red, Merlo or a Cab. However we recently discovered an inexpensive box wine that we all liked. It's Vella, Burgundy. Oh, you said 'good' not cheap. But a $10.00 box of wine that is palatable IS good. :)

13. McManus Cab 2005
I am not a wine drinker but it was recommended- I was invited to a party and the invite said bring two bottles of wine this was one of them. I did not know it was a wine tasting party so I was glad I brought it because it won 1st prize. One of the wines was very expensive (don't ask me what it was, I am a porter beer drinker so...) but the person who brought the $$$$$ wine was none to happy when they learned my bottle was 9.99$

14. I've been drinking Riojas and Douros from Spain and Portugal.

The wines are refreshingly different than the top-selling varietals we buy here. Because they cost less, you get more for your money -- better quality. They go great with food too.
