What is your all time favorite wine?

[Denise & Hunter!!!]

I am curious what everyone's favorite all time, the one that you can always fall back to wine?

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

I don't think I have one. There was a Russian River Valley Pinot Noir for which I was paying a ridiculous amount of money at a French restaurant near my home, because that was the only place I could get it, but even they don't have it any more. That was probably my all-time favorite. It tasted like fresh berries in a wine glass.

But if dry champagne counts, that would be my "fall back", lol. Any time, anywhere.

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

I love champagne, but even one or two glasses gives me a headache.  I'm not sure why, but I stay away from it.

Our "go to" wine is Acacia Chardonnay in the Carnaros region of Napa Valley.

[Linda and Murphy]

The either the  Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon  or Chardonnay. They used to be reasonable but have gone up quite a bit in price.

DH is a red drinker - I love my chardonnay.  I don't have a "go to or favorite" wine - I like anything that is dry and not sweet.

[Donna Vee]

Me too... I'll even drink two buck chuck.  My DH isn't a wine drinker normally, but he does love to go tasting and he'll occasionally pop open a nice tempranillo or... Barnwood makes a trio that he's fond of.  I'm a chardonnay al the way kind of girl but i won't turn down a nice red.

Our current all-time favorite "Friday Night" wine is Francis Ford Coppola's Directors Cut Cabernet.  Can get for $20 at my local grocery store (Friday night is out date night...I grill steak and we have a nice ($20-$30) bottle of wine. We loved the 2002 Sebastiani Cabernet from Sonoma...can't get any more.

[Jodi and Stella]

Dori I love that Directors Cut! We had it out for dinner one night (much more than $20 @ the resturant!)

[Joanna, Zoe & Bender]

the directors cut is really hard to find.  they dont have it at all stores I noticed

[Amy & Bernie]

I really like Misty Oak's reds. They're a small vineyard in Southern Oregon, so those DKers on the West Coast should check them out sometime. They'll also gladly ship and have reasonable shipping prices. They're a part of a "family owned" vineyard cooperative that stresses sustainability and producing a hands-on product. Anyhow, I'm off my soap box. For whites I LOVE sauvignon blancs. It's often described as "crisp, elegant, and fresh" and it's an awesome combination of fruity-aromatic and clean, not sweet. Almost too easy to drink, as if that's a bad thing. If I make the occasional friend that says they don't really care for wine I'll buy a couple sauvignon blancs and do a mini tasting with them - I've honestly converted my fair share! I try all the new ones every time I go to Costco and generally they're in the $13 - $18 price range.

[Amy & Bernie]

I just realized I got caught up in the moment. Great group idea! If I were to recommend a sauv blan to try look for Chateau Coucheroy, it's from Bordeaux, about $16-$17. I love it. Let me know!

Laetitia Chardonnay ~ Reserve 2002.  Loooooove it! We visit the winery every year.  It's gorgeous...up on a hill overlooking Pismo Beach.  Their 02 reserve is reasonable.  We usually visit in October and stock up for the holidays.  I have an 08 chilling for tonight.
