Discussing wine with the Institutional Trading Community is not dissimilar to representing ones self in a court of law. Regardless I will forge ahead and share my opinion with all of you. My personal preference is for Cabernets. Recently I received as a bottle of wine as a gift “The Puzzle” by Newton unfiltered 2002 Spring Mountain – Napa Valley – California. If you like relatively deep tones with “dirt” give this one a try.However the Newton is about $50 and there are plenty of excellent wines under and over that price point. Most of the wines I buy range from $10 to $25 and I think the $10 – $15 range is an area that delivers value relative to “nice” Cabs. Regardless of price almost any Napa 2002 truly delivers.If anyone has tried it and would like to comment or if you would like to recommend another selection, I would be glad to share it with the rest of the wine loving folks. Feel free to send me a message with your favorite selection including vintage, price range and description of the key features that you enjoy. I’ll take the bottle too if you’re offering.
