The party wines this year are: 2002 Las Rocas Garnacha and 2003 Yalumba Unwooded Chardonnay; both are $11. They are not only very nice wines, but the uninitiated love them!

I've decided on the Terrazos Malbec and the Carmen Chard. Both tasty lil' buggers. WW

Louis Valbray Saumur and maybe a Crianza....

Anything by Columbia Crest. They are the Yellow Tail of the US market. I haven't found an unpleasent one among them.

Family party--thinking of taking to my sister's house in Iowa a Kay Brothers Hillside Shiraz and possibly 2001 Willowbrook Owl Ridge Pinot Noir, Russian River. (The Pinot Noir could change). Two wines that were popular with a group composed mostly of those who don't regularly drink wine--Charles Wiffen Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand and the Marsannay Rose (from Pinot Noir Grapes), Burgundy.

San Telmo Malbec. How often do you get to talk about complexity in a $6 wine? Also Teifenbrunner Chard, even though I don't usually drink Chard, because it's UNOAKED and delicious and not expensive. Also have to throw in Charles Smith's House Red, a tremendous QPR wine, and, as always, the Seghesio Sonoma Zin.

Picked up another '03 Yalumba, Unwooded, Chardonnay at Jason's in Ellicott City ($9.99) on our last trip. Popped it tonight with a roasted chicken stuffed with chopped apples and onions tossed with dry tarragon, coated with butter mixed with more tarragon, and roasted in a bag (remember that!). It (the chicken) and the Chard where simply wonderful. Spring is coming sometime!

I agree on the 2002 Las Roches. For my white, the 2003 Dr. Loosen (the one in the screw top) at $9.99 is a great wine!
