New Wines to Try?

[GreggJ]

Hello All,

I have been lurking for some time now and decided to make my first post.

I have developed quite an affinity for reds over the last 2 years and have tested many bottles over the last few years, about 4-5 bottles a week, with my wife. I however, seem to have boxed myself in with certain favorites and am looking for new wines to try, any and all advice is appreciated.

To date I find that I have grown quite fond of rich and jammy Zins, my favorites include anything from Rosenblum Cellars (-vitners), Tobin James (member), as well as 7 deadly Zins. Have tried others that I find good but, not great including Peachy Cannon, Bogle, Three Thieves etc. All recommended by the way.

I was wondering if anybody could point me down a new path as I have little other resources regarding wines.

I would be looking to stay under $20 a bottle as I am buying extras, to start a cellar, I have about 75 bottles currently. Also any other varietals I should be taking a longer look at? I enjoy Cabs, Petite Syrah, and Pinot but, have gone back to my standby zins, maybe I am just not buying good represtatives of these wines.

Again any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Gregg
