I wouldn't say I'm a connoisseur, but I probably know more than the average person about wines.
Living in Europe for 4 years gave me an appreciate for French (particularly Alsacian) wines, Italian wines, and yes even German wines. Germany produces some incredible wine (Spatburgunders in particular are incredible) but they only seem to export the stuff that comes out of the Mosel valley.
Anyway, I have a soft spot for Zinfandel blends, some of the best are from
www.ridgewine.com.
I (like many others) also enjoy Cabernet Sauvignon.
Any faves worth mentioning?
