I was just at our local Sprouts market in Texas and found their Malbec, Reisling and Merlot for 3 bottle for $10.. so I figured why not!?! After reading reviews on the web seems the wine is great for the price and about 1/2 price of what I can buy it for in wine stores. thanks for the info on the Malbec...Loved your rant!!!

If looking to order for delivery and not knowing where to start can be a dilemma.<br />I would suggest for whites try Anthony Road Rieslings. Reds I would suggest Ravines Wine Cellars &#39;07 Cab Franc, Fox Run Lemberger or any red from Damiani Wine Cellars.joeshicohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05948637522566119483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086518480543445495.post-48024702535999352172009-12-18T01:13:14.169-05:002009-12-18T01:13:14.169-05:00Joe,<br />Sorry to hear about your father. Although I did not know him, I will raise a glass in his honor. <br />Although we are neighbors, I can&#39;t remember seeing a bottle of Finger Lake region wines in our local stores. Which wine would you recommend starting with?in vino veritashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02202968693386764083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086518480543445495.post-31307054642705910582009-12-10T20:54:54.951-05:002009-12-10T20:54:54.951-05:00Sorry to hear about your Dad, but glad to hear that you ended up having a good time. Just remember that wine always makes life just easier to enjoy, I love it. <br /><br />Great blog by the way. I&#39;m not a big fan of red wines, more a <a href="http://www.stjameswinery.com/shop/wine/semi-sweet/country-white.html" rel="nofollow">Country White</a> fan myself.

I hear much about Zin and maybe this will be the kick start I needed to start enjoying it more. <br />About the rant: I&#39;m still getting comments from A-hole on year old articles. I guess Parker doesn&#39;t get him off either.<br />Mark: Thanks for the comment. The Beaujolais was really terrible.<br />The crowd fave was definitely the Anthony Road Riesling. Enjoyed by all and requested for Xmas.<br />Shelly, the rant was overdue. I&#39;m sure many bloggers have to put up with that kind of childish behavior.<br />I was actually thinking of you when my brother gave me the price on the Marcus James. If you find it in VA, please buy. It was really an outstanding Malbec.joeshicohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05948637522566119483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086518480543445495.post-61029842669245496802009-12-03T11:20:56.790-05:002009-12-03T11:20:56.790-05:00I have to start with the rant. I didn&#39;t know you had such a fierce side in ya. I like it:)<br /><br />I also enjoy the Marcus James. You know I wouldn&#39;t pass up a deal like that. I was impressed with it&#39;s full flavors.<br /><br />The Beaujolais...banana candy sounds good, though maybe not for wine. Mixed with nail polish? I&#39;ll make sure to stay clear.<br /><br />Sorry about your dad. Glad you had a nice Thanksgiving.Shellyhttp://wineatfive.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086518480543445495.post-54797537258597704852009-12-03T09:29:30.826-05:002009-12-03T09:29:30.826-05:00Hi Joe,<br />Welcome back. Sounds like you had a great Thanksgiving minus the Beaujolais Nouveau.<br /><br />Marcus James Malbec – I’ll have to give it a try.<br /> <br />Curious - Out of the wines that you opened up, which one was the crowd favorite?<br /><br />Btw – Loved the &quot;Joeshico Rant&quot; – laughing my arse off. But, I do feel you pain…unfortunately nothing permanently kills cockroaches. They always seem to come back sooner or later…. <br />Cheers!<br />MarkMarkhttp://www.winelife365.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086518480543445495.post-53844707848317276432009-11-30T10:00:52.880-05:002009-11-30T10:00:52.880-05:00LOL! I love the comment about Parker. Negative (non-constructive) comments and spam are a huge pain in the ass... I don&#39;t blame you for ranting. Glad to see a new post, I know you have had mixed feelings on Zinfandels, I look forward to reading your reviews on this one.<br /><br />On a side note, I am so sorry to hear about your Dad.The Wine Whorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08371581461178538392noreply@blogger.com
