Hi freshair, I've just realised you though we were at our 31th years of marriage... we are just married and the cermony were organised by Harley Davidson... what an incredible story... we wanted just to be married at Daytona beach but circumstances have made us live really a dream story. If you don't know the story, have a look there:
Now you be carefull with that HOT.........Harley. Especially if with a drink in hand. Congratulations on your 31 years of marriage.
We consider Dom Perignon to be a very good friend, every
now and then. A good zinfandel is nice with a steak. However, most of the time, Sam Adams will do nicely.
Well everyone that has attended a Nor Cal Forum Rally lately is familiar with my 32' Excella "The Lodi Appellation Express".
I'm a Zin man- you all know that.
And I'll be pouring an assortment of Lodi Appellation wines at Lake San Antonio in late October-Compliments of Michael David Wineries - Lodi, Northern California.
Check out zinsoflodi.com for a great selection.
At the last rally at Casinni Ranch we poured wines from 4 of these top producers.
Enjoy whatever you like!

Our favorite is Blue Moon reisling.
I may have come across better, better bouquet (whatever that is) or a better pedigree, But it was our first date whine. And the wine for several dates and a few anniverseries after that.
It must be native to the Willamette vally, because we could find it in Oregon, but sadly, not in Colorado.
(one of the reasons were already planning a trip to Oregon next summer)
Boons Strawberry Hill deserves honorable mention because, if someone brings Boons to a party, they're there to have fun without pretense.
I have a soft spot for Mad Dog 20/20 because, according to family legend, thats what got me started in this great world.

Even if I live in a "famous wine" country, I'm a bit fed up of the increasing prices for a bottle of french wine... So I've tried " foreign"( for me) red wine as yours in California, some Australian cabernet sauvignon wines, some Chilian wines, et cetera and I'm not disapointed at all. May be not so fine but the tastes are great and prices too.
Well, first of all I love Domain Drouhin. They started in France and then opened a winery in Wilamette Valley, OR. Very good Pino. I have had both the Oregon Nand French wines. Thanks to Jim & Nancy for telling us about that one at the Salem International. Bruno, if you ever get a hold of a bottle from them you will not be disappointed.
And then there is Old Ghost - old vine zinfandel. 2003 was a very good lear and a very taisty treat!
OK to be honest with you...this is what sits in my refer in my outdoor kitchen at home.
Can't get any better than a BOX (yes BOX ) of chillable red and a styrofoam cup on a Saturday Night at my house...sittin' by the pool swattin' mosquitos!
Our favorite "house" wine is Chilean, Frontera-a Cab/Merlot blend by Concha y Toro, bought at Sam's Club, 1.5 ltr for $6 and some change. Lighter than a full cab, fruity, pretty cheap, and easy to enjoy. This is for everyday, but we love to find special surprise wines too. One of our daughters enjoys finding us a selection of outrageous/artsy/funny label wines for Christmas each year, and some are good drinking too ~G
