Poll: What are your current "house" wines?
Hello, All. As I recently promised in another thread, I feel that it's
time once again to find out what our various afw contributors are using as their everyday (house) wine. By this term, I mean inexpensive wine(s) that you buy by the case or half-case and might open with a casual meal or use for cooking. Currently, our house wines are the '04 Verramonte Sauvignon Blanc and the '01 Dom L'Espigouette Cotes du Rhone. On the basis of a recent tasting, I might also pick up some '01 Woodbridge Cabernet for this purpose. So, what are the rest of you using as your house wines? Mark Lipton |

I (he says pompously) eschew that position. Life is too short to drink cheap (name your poison here.) With the availability of a globe-ful of wines either within a short drive of most homes or at the finger-tips on the Internet, I prefer to explore further afield than a "house" wine. I try a lot of things and the dinner-time sip might be anything from a $5 Rex Goliath to a $30 Ridge Zin to a $50 California Pinot Noir to (only occasionally) a $120 bottle of socked away Monte Bello Cab. My "house" wines (yes I have them) are employed in the reverse mode of the assumption of the question--and arguably in the Biblical expectation expressed wine at Cana. I serve the best first then the lesser later. Some favorites: Rex Goliath (all four varietals) Black Box Merlot and Cab Black Opal Shiraz, Cab and blends Columbia Crest Riesling and Gewurtz Tott's Brut Whiskers Blake Port And, with the exception of the RG, gotta confess that I've not found a Pinot Noir that merits much respect at the below $15 US point.

Although my household consumption is quite high (over 1 bottle/day), I have to confess not having a house wine, and not having had such an animal for umpteen years. My profession caters for a constant stream of wine bottles into the cellars - 100% back-up bottles from tasting between 3000 and 4000 wines a year. It's nice to know that you will never run out of wine, but the problem is: Only one single bottle per wine. M. |

We're currently drinking the 2002 Chateau Giorgianni Zinfandel. Of course it took us 20+ years of practice before we could make a wine that was better than most of the $8 ones in the store. -- Joe Giorgianni TheWho.org "This guitar has seconds to live" Posters |

It's really a pasta red, but quite fruit forward, maybe carbonic mac. Good with pizza. Yes, I have to have it shipped in, but 90% of the wine I buy I have shipped in anyway. Tom Schellberg |
