The other week the waitress said the pinot we were tasting was a "little peppery" and after tasting it I said, "White pepper actually." |

wines produced by napa wine co. are also very cr because they're essentially 'wine production as a service' so winemakers who use them just focus on producing what they want and not all the overhead of owning vinyards, fermentation tanks, etc. the wines have to stand on their own quality and can't sneak by because the location is scenic for tourists |

as noted by another poster, santa cruz for pinot
santa barbara has some decent producers that don't command a huge markup
the key to understanding ca wine is that appellation as a concept isn't the same thing as it is in france. so, tons of great ca wines are blends and you can do that shit in much lower cost areas than napa.

It's a beautiful area with countless wineries and vineyards but it has become egregiously expensive and focused on unimportant aesthetic details that are mostly flame.

The right way to buy wine is start in your 20s and buy for drinking on a 7 to 30 year offset
The more modern way is to buy wine as you intend to consume it
There are Old World deals for both strategies.
If you are investing, look at brunello, bolgheri, chianti, second growth burgundy, Chile, in New World, Santa Cruz Mountains, Walla Walla pinot, Hawke's Bay and Canterbury Pinot. Top producers of fortified and desert wines all over the world are always cheap and pay major dividends after decades. |

Date: September 20th, 2023 12:30 PM Author: orchid vigorous police squad Some good advice here. Only word of caution is that tastes can change and the modern-styled Bordeaux you might by on futures in your mid-20s or the fruit bomb “cult” Pinots might seem silly to you 10-15 years later. (Speaking from some experience.) I’d avoid buying for the future now - you need to taste as much as you can and not worry about saving a bit by buying for the future. You can buy for the future in a few years. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5409241&forum_id=2#46821097) |

Date: September 20th, 2023 12:25 PM Author: orchid vigorous police squad Best thing you can do is to find a chill bro at a wine shop close to you and talk with him. Don’t worry about looking like an idiot or overpaying by $5-10 vs. some warehouse. Tell him where you are, what you think you like, and if he’s good he’ll be able to steer you. You need to taste side by side and taste distinct wines at first until you hone it in. Next time you go in, tell him what you thought about what you tasted.
Option B isn’t is good but it’s buying a mixed case from a good online wine shop, like Ansonia. They have “tour of France” or something like that cases that are good intros. They also provide cards with background info. |
|
Date: September 20th, 2023 12:31 PM Author: Gold Sandwich This is highly credited. And once you've found the type of wine you actually like he'll hook you up with their case pricing and you'll get it for cheaper than a warehouse anyway.
For people starting out it's not a bad idea to sign up for the shop's wine club if they offer it because it's an easy way to get good exposure to a wide variety of wines that are typically decent but not hyperexpensive. |

|
Date: September 20th, 2023 12:21 PM Author: orchid vigorous police squad No but as a rule it is overpriced and should be aged - it’s not that pleasant (and it’s wasteful) to drink young.
There’s also a lot just riding on the Napa designation and churning out $80-100 bottles of rather generic red wine.
The experience has also gotten very expensive. It’s nice and pretty but so are other wine regions. |
|
Date: September 20th, 2023 12:24 PM Author: Gold Sandwich I think this is fair. There's a lot of incredible wine coming out of Napa but there's also a lot of flame wine. The terroir ensures that even flamey wine from the region isn't terrible but there are a lot of $100 supergoy bottles being sold that don't intrinsically merit the price point but get bought anyway because "it's Napa." That said, to reiterate, great Napa wines are among the best in the world. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5409241&forum_id=2#46821075) |

I would just add that in yet another rebuke to shitlib Europe, the truth is that winemaking innovation is about 99% located in California. Proud French boys having inherited daddy's parcels arrive in Davis with dark sunglasses to learn how to fix the shit they can't figure out how to fix. |

Date: September 20th, 2023 7:09 PM Author: Razzle fuchsia doctorate chad It is flame in that most of the price difference is based on scarcity rather than quality - but it’s a fucking mass-produced beverage so makes no goddamn sense to pay up for relative scarcity outside of the very top end. Like sure if you’re a billionaire collector you can buy the $100k super rare bottle which will probably appreciate, or you can enjoy drinking the very best thing that most people don’t have. But why would I pay $60 for something I am going to drink at home on a Tuesday that is maybe 5% better than a $30 wine from a bigger region (or maybe indistinguishable or worse)? And then this gets even worse if you are paying restaurant markups on already inflated prices. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5409241&forum_id=2#46822846) |

napa produces some very fine wines, but in general they are overpriced fruit bombs. |
|
Date: September 22nd, 2023 2:53 PM Author: Razzle fuchsia doctorate chad What I mean is that in normal consumer goods there’s a quasi-rational price/quality correlation. Napa wine is priced higher mostly for reasons of scarcity and cartel behavior by top producers. But fundamentally it’s the same product as wine from Sonoma or Santa Barbara or France (outside Bordeaux and Burgundy) which are available at better prices because overall there’s no scarcity of good wine in the world.

Good Burgundies are fine but not competitive on price with equally good Oregon bottles. Bad Burgundy is infuriating - some 7th generation Frenchmen with a great piece of land and no fucking clue what he’s doing charging you $50/bottle for wine made with underripe grapes and no flavor. |

In some cases they have to totally replant even though it means giving up years of sales and old vines cachet. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5409241&forum_id=2#46831282) |

Duhart Milon and Leoville Barton are some of my favorite left bank wines. I’ve had first growths and they are certainly better but not by enough to justify the premium. |

The Cabernet Sauvignon predominant Left bank of Bordeaux has the first growths: Lafite,Mouton, Latour, Margaux and the second growths: Leoville las Cases, Ducru Beaucaillou, Palmer. . .

but the wine is flame. most wine is flame. only the most seasoned and knowledgeable wine drinkers have any chance at realizing any appreciation between different wines. people who can really do this have a genetic advantage and years of education. everyone else is completely and complicity full of shit or fooling themselves. if you don't mind that part, napa is 180. |
