Are cheaper wines no good?*

[Deputy]

Great IK, good to know.

I had no idea that Pinot was high in acid. I always assumed it would be good for me because it's lighter, but I dislike the harsh acidity of some wines.

I think that the best wine I've had to date is still the Painter Bridge Zin (that's probably sad, but I have little exposure yet).

dananne, the cheap Chilean Pinot thing is a good point, and something that I've definitely considered regarding that particular bottle. Strangely enough, it was recommended to me as something that would be very easy to drink and light and smooth. It came across virtually the opposite. Then again, my palate isn't as refined as the person who made the recommendation.

Wow WOW, those are some great recommendations, thanks! And BK and kc, I'll definitely give it a go. I had a YT Cab in my basket at the wine shop today but decided to put it down and come and read the responses on here first. Should have got it while I was there.

Thanks!

(More stupid questions to come...)
