i know some people @ a winery in Cambria… they have some awesome stuff. Usually my other buddies (who are very close to them) go down there and have samples all night… like glasses of samples. If any of you guys are interested and wanted to go, I’m sure I coould setup a private testing, we could buy some bottles @ discount and have a good time. ---

as I said, Dr K is only ok, their Riesling is only good one. . .all the rest listed are pretty junky. If you like sweet wines, then most of those will be for you. …and barefoot and yellow tail have all done the same as far as awards and ratings, it doesnt make them good wines… ---

[http://chateaubuffalo.com](http://chateaubuffalo.com/) for $5 you get to taste 5 wines and learn what you like. me, tom, and spence went there a couple of weekends ago. they only sell new york wines and they are the only licensed winery in erie county which is pretty cool. ---

Ch. Laf Renau makes an outstanding reserve cabernet sauvignon and Lamaroux landing’s merlot is better than most $20 california mass produced merlots. Believe me, i am not sticking up for NY wines but just making a point that there are some good ones out there, not just sweet wines either. Personally, i love good australian shiraz like Connor Park and Kaesler and wines from the southern Rhone especially Chateuneuf-Du-Pape and Gigondas. And yes, Yellow Tail and Barefoot do suck.
