I would like the group's opinion on something. It just might be that
I'm going about my enjoyment of wine tasting and drinking all the
wrong way.

Does everyone in this ng have their favourite wine? I get the
impression that many members enjoy a wide range of wines equally. In
other words if the world was going to end tomorrow would everyone know
exactly the wine they would choose or would any one of ten or twenty
be sufficient?

When I buy a new wine I'm hoping it is going to have a "magical"
taste. I'm always looking for something equal or better than the
last good bottle tried. But alas, many are not.

Recently I tried a Cote du Rhone ($19 cdn) by Guigal and a Mondavi
Cab($20cdn). In comparison to other 'big' reds these were a bit
disappointing. So what do people do? Dump it? Drink it knowing it's
just okay? Maybe I should be enjoying the differences and not
worrying so much about finding wines that are in only like my
favourite.

Any thoughts?
