Due to restaurant demand it usually doesn't make it to retail outfits although I found a small stock in a Long Island wine store in '05. Couple weeks ago there it was in my regular store here in East TX. Bought two bottles and will pop the first a week from today with "the bird".

TexasAg1969 Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Found this little wine when touring Napa one year. You don't even have to buy the upper end one since it won a double gold one year in the San F. Wine contest. Honig Cabernet Sauvignon. Very, very good with a fine filet or t-bone. You can read some of the reviews in the link. They are spot on. http://www.totalwine.com/red-wine/cabernet-sauvignon/honig-cabernet-napa/p/93908750-1?glia=true&s=510&pid=cpc:Shopping+US+TEXA+ENG+SPART:::google:&gclid=Cj0KCQiAi7XQBRDnARIsANeLIeuvYX6P5FgGVQp4xlfEjLf5-qGhnDBmeidHBxPrMuHnK1956k6wBF0aAkw-EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splurged a tad more on Grgich a couple times... really good stuff. Went bonkers in Napa and bought a Grgich Reerve that was lights out... and should have been for the price. My everyday, high-value cab has moved to H3, a/k/a Horse Haven Hills, recently. Its current vintage is running really strong. At ~$13 a bottle it's very hard to beat.

I have indeed, (not for a long time though) but not their chard. I'm a huge fan of big oaky chardonnays in that style. Their cabernet was a mouthful of red, and California wine that you could age for a long time. 8 hours ago, Tour2ma said: Had the most floral red I've ever tasted, h, in the Burgundy region.

Many of my wine friends have made the trip and say it's memorable. 1 hour ago, RoyceRolls said: Aldi has a $4 bottle of merlot that is pretty good. Hey, I'm no wine snob, but maybe one day me, Tour, and Ag can swill a bottle or three out of my cellar. I get more fun out of finding a cheapo than spending a lot on something else. I recently bought a bunch of an Italian rose that was $5 bucks on post off. Hey, it was Beaujolais Nouveau Day today, went out tasting with my pals, recommend the Domaine Rochette $14, the Georges DuBoef was sort of watery. They were also pouring the Fleur de Pingus- (for us uppity folks) ha it's their "second" bargain wine for the masses- a mere $95 a bottle. Regular Pingus is now on the high side of $700 bucks. Being retired, my booze budget has shrunk considerably. As I like to tell my wine class- to quote August Sebastiani- "if the first sip invites another, the wine is good." Also as I tell the kids- it's Larry's Logarithmic Law of diminishing returns. Just because a wine is ten times more expensive doesn't make it ten times better. Unfortunately today , the very top wines have become "trophy" wines for collector millionaires with unlimited wine budgets. A bottle of Romanee Conti (DRC) Burgundy- if you're lucky enough to find one- would set you back $10,000. For sure, not 100X better than a $100 bottle. Just remember guys, when you come right down to it- it's fermented grape juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a really excellent 2001 stashed in my wine refrigerator. Took my Mom on a tasting tour there and she was just going bananas over it until I told her the cost. She asked me who in their right mind would pay that kind of money even for a wine that good. She almost choked when I told her I had just bought a bottle. Of course she was a child of the depression and always squeezed Lincoln half blind every time she let go of a penny, so there's that. I'll check out 3H. Thanks for the tip. EDIT: My Mom married again after my Dad passed away and lived in Cal. about an hour from Napa. They guy who owned the luxury apartment building where they lived was a retired dentist who had an extensive wine cellar. As he was showing me how his temp and humidity control systems worked I happened to look down and spotted a bottle of 1970 Lafite Rothchild. Now a fine Bordeaux like that will set you back $1000 for a very good year. But 1970 was a great year that might happen 2-4 times a century and he had kept it in ideal conditions going on 40 years at that time. Had to be close to a $10,000 bottle. Had a hard time getting my jaw back in place. PS-And he is the person who recommended I visit Grgich Hills while there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, Chateau St. Michelle downgraded the Indian Wells Vineyard merlot to just "Indian Wells" not the same stuff, and a step down, though it's still pretty good wine. Regarding Grgich, on my one trip to Napa, who walks in the tasting room but Mike Grgich. Everyone in the room started grabbing bottles and asked him to autograph them. I still have an empty in my memorabilia collection in the cellar. For you non-winos, it would be the equivalent of LeBron walking into the team shop.
