Maybe because I'm not Australian but "Sticky Sweet Wine" sure doesn't make me want to go try any Ozzy port.

I tried a Rosemount Traminer Riesling which I liked.
Over the summer, we went to Disneyland and they actually have wine tasting in the California Adventure side of the park. That was a first foray into ports. I don't remember what we tried, but I was amazed at how the taste of the port changed paired with strong cheese.

If you like a Cote de Rhone style, I found this steal of a great wine for $7. We went through 3 cases of it and it stood up to many $15 and $20 bottles in the interim. Great table wine. Also, the Saintsbury Garnet Pinot Noir 2007 for $17 was very nice. And general FYI, Wine Spectator says the 2006 Cali Cabs are very strong, and 2007 should be even better - if you enjoy Cabs.

Over the past 10-15 years we have had an emergence of wine makers here in North Carolina. The Yadkin River Valley assocn has gotten their marketing campaign in gear and we now have multiple wineries and vineyards in 2 hour radius. A lot of these are farmers who have turned their tobacco farms into vineyards. I have been sampling a lot of their offerings lately. My brother and sister-in-law will be in for Christmas and I think we will go to Rafaldini vineyards for a wine tasting.......Rob

Don't know why I did not think of this before.
I want to pick up a couple of bottles of champaign (or wine made in the champaign method) for a family get together on Sunday. I have a decent selection at the local lcbo, but never know what to pick up. There is always a good selection of French, California and Canadian stuff available.
I'm not averse to spending a little coin, but if its moderately priced, I can afford a couple of bottles. Any recommendations?
