swish and spit the next time. <G> It was interesting to me to see your lists. Usually you can tell who the dominant distributor is (there often is one in each state that sort of monopolizes the market, generally whoever reps the biggest houses) I don't know who is the big dog in your area, but in mine, it is Southern. They have every state rep and senator in their pocket and keep smaller distributors from getting as much play. They dominate the wine lists in Florida restaurants except for the very wine oriented ones. I digress... Looking at your list, I'd say Carolina and United were the big 'uns at your tasting last night and probably had the best placement in the room. I think Columbia Crest does a great job of having quality wines at a high QPR. It is a very commercial wine, or grocery store wine but it is reliable year after year. I have tried a number of the wines listed, maybe a 1/3 of them, and but have not drunk any of them lately other than the Torrontes by Crios. It is not my favorite Torrontes, though. I like one called Phebus. It has a viognier nose with a light and bright feel that is nice for hot florida weather. Penfold's is the best name in Australia wine, at least in my experience. I have a couple of bottles of their Grange (I don't remember the year or bin) here in my tiny little "cellar" does a styrofoam shipping container count?) Now that is a syrah (shiraz). MP
