The PLCB store in Wyomissing (Berks County) also has several GV's; it
is what they call a Specialty store.

Yes, exactly, Dan-O. I don't think any GVs have reached "Regular" status
at this point, so they won't be found in a non-Specialty store.
I usually shop at one of two Specialty stores, anyways, and I think I might
be the only person who evens buys the GVs
Life is good more GV for me

Ah, it's ok, I don't mind people asking & answering questions- I would

The store at the Village Square Mall (next to South Hlils Village in
Bethel Park/Mt. Lebanon) had Rudi Pichler GV and Riesling the last time
I was home (2 years ago). Both very, very good and well worth seeking
out.

There was some discussion of keeping a "recommended wines" list in the
FAQs in other thread. That might be a little unwieldy, so here's an
alternate idea. On the first of each month (obviously too late for
September) some start a thread entitled "QPR Wines for September".
Please post up to 5 wines that you thought were a great value and feel
others should look for.
1) Does a price limit of $15US or your local equivalent seem about
right (we can also do a splurge thread).
2) I'd encourage each poster to limit themselves to one post of 5 value
wines per month, to keep things from being dominated by a few. I could
easily name 15-25 ,but if a few of us did that it would make it so that
the suggestions of those who only suggest one would get buried.
3) Please just post the wines, no commentary. This might be hard on
verbose
people like myself, but might encourage those who might otherwise be
hesitant (if 7 people posted before you, each with comments, might not
feel as comfortable just posting your wine). Certainly feel free to
start a thread of your tasting impressions of any wine(s) and be as
verbose as you want!
4) No bashing of others' suggestions. Let's try to be supportive as
possible. If someone posts a wine you hate, feel free to start a
thread of your tasting impressions of the wine and be as verbose as you
want as to how horrible is.
5) Please try to be sure that the wines you suggest are reasonably
available (wines only at one store, or at a winery is less valuable as
a monthly resource)
6) If we continue this, how about a 2 month limit on posting any wine.
This will ensure the list is a bit fresher.

Whew. Sound ok? This is an experiment, but I for one am willing to give
it a try. To keep this thread as clean as possible, I'll post a
second thread where you can make suggestions, call me an ass for trying
this, etc. Can we try just posting suggested wines here? I'll follow
with my suggestions.

(top posting for clarity)
Dave! You put the list under your .sig and some newsreaders won't pick
it up...
Here it is again!

(Pgh digression)
Dave, I've only been to that store once, while it was still being
expanded. I usually go to the Oxford Center store, downtown, or the
Centre Avenue store in Shadyside, soon we will have a huge giant store by
Whole Foods, East Liberty (which might not have been here when you last
visited...)
The Waterworks store is pretty swell, too, but when one must rely on
public transportation...

Wow, D, you can find Loimer in a PA state store? You must have better
stores in P'burgh than I've seen in Philly, you lucky dog you.


Hi Mark. Seems like someone at the PLCB must like GV
I do see that the Philly store at 1218 Chestnut still has 11 units
available...
Seems like then eastern side of Pennsylvania gets all the interesting
Rieslings, tho'
d.

Might be because the Chairman of the 'State Store' System, Jonathan Newman,
lives in the area.

Jon

Quinta do Crasto 2001 Douro red (8 eur)
Herencia Remondo La Montesa 2003 Rioja Crianza (9 euros)
Terras Gauda 2004 Rias Baixas (10 euros)
El Quintanal 2005 Ribera del Duero (4 euros)
Finca La Estacada 2004 seis meses en barrica (3 euros) Vino de la Tierra de
Castilla.

Prices quoted in euros in an average spanish wine-shop.

--snip--

I second the '04 Panarroz Jumilla
The Pepperwood Grove Pinot Noir isn't bad either, under $10 USD

-ben

Since you are new to Italian wine I would suggest the
2004 Masciarelli Montepulciano d'Abruzzo should be between $5-$10 a
bottle depending on your area

Much better then the Citra.
