Myself, I grow those little bombs and put them in a bottle.

I will quote a old time grower in WA and when asked when it is time to drink a batch and he says" when you taste a vintage you like, drink the **** out of it"

Its all in your taste buds, nothing more nothing less.

I buy wine in the 10-20 dollar range and drink nice wine. We have 50-100 dollar wine in the cellar and it is good but its not my every day drinking stuff.

When a winery wins awards for a particular vintage the costs go up cuz it has a gold metal.

In all my experience with wine, Pinot Noir is the most fickled, love the grape but can be the toughest one to buy right, at 5 bucks you got lucky, buy a case and let us know.

My pick for consistent quality is sangiovese or chianti wine.
