Since Thanksgiving is next week do you winegoons have any recommendations for an obtainable $20-$40 Champagne/Sparkling wine that isn't VC or White Star? Gosset? Laurent-Perrier? Bruno Michel? I want to try something new. https://www.klwines.com/content.asp?N=4294967275+24&Ne=3&Nr=OR(OutofStock%3AN%2CInventory+Location%3ASpecial+Order)&Ns=QtySoldLast30%7C1 I might just grab a Perrier-Jouët again since I had it last year and really liked it.

Tekne posted:New wine drinker here. Recently had a 2009 Pascual Toso Malbec that both smelled and tasted very strongly of violets, but didn't overpower the other elements of the wine. That was my first "wow, this is good" experience with grape juice. Do you guys have any suggestions for bottles in the ten to twenty dollar range with distinct notes that are still pleasant to drink? I like both red and white. I really like the Viña Cobos "El Felino" Malbec and it's around $15-$19 if you can find it. I've seen the 2008's at Total Wine lately. http://www.klwines.com/detail.asp?sku=1034469

AriTheDog posted:Anyone have any suggestions for decent but not terribly expensive glassware? I'm finally getting too sick of the various inherited wine glasses I have, and I'm looking to get new ones. Lots of good advice here but I'll chime in and pimp the Schott Zwiesel 'Forté' series that is under $10 per stem. I use the hell out of the burg glasses. http://www.klwines.com/detail.asp?sku=1021407 You could get away with 6 of the Chianti/Zin glasses and have a good starting set for everything except champagne/port/snifters. Then upgrade in the future to specific bordeaux/burg glasses as budget allows and use these for water/whites/etc. http://www.klwines.com/detail.asp?sku=1021410

I've used CT since 2006, and it took a while to get used to the new version but I still find it very easy to use. I don't write notes anymore just track my spending and drinking so I'm not a power user or anything. It definitely is painful running reports to see exactly how much you've spent on wine over the years.  https://www.cellartracker.com/user.asp?iUserOverride=15496 I'm down from about 250 wines and am trying to stay around 125. It helps that my storage is over 2 hours away or else I'd drink more.

I have a pair of Alban (2005 Reva and 2006 Grenache) on deck for the holidays so I'm about to find out if I should have just sold these on release like the rest I had bought. I'm finding that most of the wines that I bought back 8-10 years ago didn't age that well and I probably should have made more of an effort to drink them much earlier. For example, I expected more from things like 2006 Neal Cabs, etc with some age on them. Oh well.
