@herenotthere or whoever else wants to answer the call, I’ll take you up on the offer to help expand my tastes in red wine

I’m putting it here rather than the suggested PM in the interest of creating more niche content on the site

What I know I like: - Cabs - Pinot Noir

Not my thing: - Merlots

Also interested in: - Italian wines - Syrahs/Shiraz

Since I have limited knowledge I usually reach for the bottles I know will be good. The Josh and Joel Gott cabs. Pinot Noirs I go for Josh, Bread & Butter (for a cheaper option), or a random from the willamette valley.

So here are my questions: - What are some good sweet spots in price and quality that are similar to what I already like? - Can you throw out any good standbys in the Italian and Syrah categories I’m interested in learning more about? - If I wanted to splurge for a higher caliber bottle, what are some great cabs or Pinot noirs to try?

Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer.

Thank you. Ok I guess I have to take a trip to a local wine shop and see what they have. I’ll jot down the Vineyards you mentioned who knows maybe I’ll see some options from one of them. Thanks for the link to the Italian wines too I’ll take a look.

Most if not all of these vineyards also have online stores as well which could save you a trip.

If I can write something interesting about it I’ll try to document my discoveries.
