What are your favorite red varietals to drink during fall weather? Something warming, full-bodied, etc! Trying to branch out here, I don't know too much about wine but love a little spice.

GSM blends. You want something with syrah for that rich texture. Perhaps a malbec.

like

Not a lot of GSM in Santa Ynez, that’s more a Paso thing. Santa Ynez is mostly Pinot noir (thanks Sideways). Bigger reds will be mostly at the eastern end of the valley. I highly recommend everything from Hitching Post (and you *must* get a steak and grilled artichoke to go with it), especially the Four Top which is one of the best valued wines anywhere IMHO. The Volpino from Foxen is another really interesting red in the area.

For a great red-style white, try the oak-aged Chardonnay at Foley.

I basically drink 3 reds. Guigal Cotes du Rhône, good Zinfandel’s and Cabs from Napa. There are some expectations but that covers it. Mostly I get them from wine clubs. In the store I generally won’t touch a Zin under $30 and Cans under $45.

The Biltmore has a Christmas blend. It’s a little sweet, but it has all the flavors and spices I associate with the season.
The do a red & a white. I personally like the red better.

Thoughts on this Celine Tripmphe bag (maybe in teen size since I’m petite)? I LOVE Celine bags and already own Classic Box (light grey) and Micro Belt bag (amazon green). Would this overlap with my collection, especially the classic box? I feel guilty dropping $3-4k for a bag when my salary’s only 100k. But I want to treat myself for upcoming promotion (hopefully) and for going through hard year in 2020. Was looking at Navy Blue but also considering black, camel or more fun colors (red, pink)

I need advice from the collective. It seems like there is a trend to sell wine in unique bottles. The only problem with this, those bottles will not fit into my wine fridge. Has anyone transferred wine to standard bottles and are you concerned about the wine one it hits the air? I’ve looked at vacuum stoppers but not sure if this is a good idea or not.

I keep getting sour wines. I’ve never had this issue before but the last few bottles I got (store shelf, nothing too fancy) tasted like they were opened and left out. That gross stale sort of sour taste… but the cork was in tight and sealed. 🧐

Dry. Acidic nose. But for $10 this wine is amazing. Where else can you find a ‘14 vintage for that cost. I Get nectarine hints maybe plum. Very little body. Mild tannin; I wouldn’t mind putting out for guests. If you’re going for something dry, acidic, in the red department, can’t complain. I picked this one up from Trader Joe’s. Hope you find this helpful!
