i am not a particular fan of parkerized wines, so don't really enjoy most kali reds. parker wines are all oak aged--they all have flavor concentrated up front and offer very little in the way of length or complexity---and i prefer both.

so when i'm feeling flush, i like red burgundies which tend to start at about 25 for a decent bottle, i don't really understand why. i use burgundies as my guide type for sussing out various malbecs, spanish wines and italians...

i keep telling myself that i should make a diary so i know the specific vineyards i like---because for some reason no matter how much i like a particular bottle, the chances of my remembering the vineyard are nill--so i have to go back to the same store and rely on space memory to help me locate more, if i want it.

a collective wine diary...
