There is a lot of bad wine, but a lot of good wine too.
Damiano is a great winery, easily the best red wines in the region, not even on the map. Also, Treleaven, Lamoreaux Landing, Ventosa (try the tocai), many other. Hazlitt is a good time, if not necessarily the best wine.Spectrum 10/27/09; New Orleans JazzFest 5/1/10; Made in America 9/2/12; Phila, PA 10/21/13; Phila, PA 10/22/13; Baltimore Arena 10/27/13; Phila, PA 4/28/16; Phila, PA 4/29/16; Fenway Park 8/7/16; Fenway Park 9/2/18; Asbury Park 9/18/21; Camden 9/14/22; Las Vegas 5/16/24; Las Vegas 5/18/24; Phila, PA 9/7/24; Phila, PA 9/9/24; Baltimore Arena 9/12/24; Pittsburgh 5/16/25; Pittsburgh 5/18/25

There are defintely some good ones, no doubt, but overall I think they are fairly mediocre. Ventosa and Lamoreaux are both pretty awesome places too. Have spent quite a bit of time on both Seneca and Cayuga. Good times.0 -

Gli Abruzzi (the Abruzzos) actually drank our first 2010 Provence rose' of the year tonight. Yummy. 8-)
One of the best Montepulciano d'Abruzzo that I've had was Nicodemi. Hard to find it though...Spectrum 10/27/09; New Orleans JazzFest 5/1/10; Made in America 9/2/12; Phila, PA 10/21/13; Phila, PA 10/22/13; Baltimore Arena 10/27/13; Phila, PA 4/28/16; Phila, PA 4/29/16; Fenway Park 8/7/16; Fenway Park 9/2/18; Asbury Park 9/18/21; Camden 9/14/22; Las Vegas 5/16/24; Las Vegas 5/18/24; Phila, PA 9/7/24; Phila, PA 9/9/24; Baltimore Arena 9/12/24; Pittsburgh 5/16/25; Pittsburgh 5/18/25

I want to get in on this thread. I've been wanting to get into wine for a long time. I've just started and I'm trying to learn the ins and outs. I think red wine is my favorite.
Edit: I bought a bottle of some Gnarly Head Merlot a few weeks ago. Like I said, I'm a novice so I just went off the description on the back of the bottle and the cool tree on the front of the bottle.I think it was around $12 a bottle, not bad I guess. If anyone has any advice feel free to share. Also, what is a price range that isn't too pricey, but you will be sure to most likely get a good bottle of wine?
Hearts and thoughts they fade....
fade away...
I am at peace with my lust.....for Eddie.0 -
