At $10 (ok $11.25), the quality for the price seems good according the reviews - around 80ish. I hope you weren’t expecting a 90+ for $11.25. Although, if you know where to get that, let us in on the secret…
I am low on moolah, but am thinking of trying to sneak in before 10 am…

Nope it looks like you probably get what you pay for. But for this price range, I am thinking I could do just as well or maybe better at Trader Joes. I stocked up well the past 2 weeks so should probably skip a week anyhow. Then again, maybe the lab reports will win me over…

Damn how can I resist PS. And Sangiovese. And Zin! All my favorites.
I just went to a good wine store today and bought 2 mixed cases, including a Concannon PS and a Rosenblum PS.
I might have to go in now too so I can limit the damage and at least try for Brat.
Holy crap I just counted and I have 85 bottles plus 5 en route.

Nyet, No, Nay, Nein, Non
Opposite of Yes … I have too many reds now as it is … need more whites!

Talking about whites, my wife and I just polished off a bottle of Hubert Brochard Sancerre that I picked up at Costco the other day for $9. Medium body and fruit, off-dry. We both thought it was very yummy.

CT = www.cellartracker.com - usually someone has links to them by now. This is a great community site to keep track of your wines and read community reviews, etc..

I usually do, however I was bouncing along the access road between DFW and the Rental Car facility when the clock chimed Midnight CST. My luggage should join me some time later today.

All 3 are very different! For some real fun, let them breathe for 4 hours and drink them side by side!

Heh spoken like a true PSycho! Yeah those were the only PS they had.
I’m excited to try them, I’ve never had any of those makers and I know they are big names in PS.
Too bad I didn’t find any more expensive ones (not that that means they would be better)
I love the KR PS but I didn’t like the L&L from a few weeks ago. Have you had Pedroncelli PS before?

I agree. I have 14 reds in boxes and 4 from last week coming, no need for these, at least today.
But I said that last week too, and ended up buying on Friday …

No, but I won’t be able to say that for long!

Too bad you missed the event on Saturday, bet you would have gotten to try a lot of new ones.
You would be all PS’ed out right now though.
I went to an event at Copia in 2006 and I tried almost 50 wines, most of them Cabs. I was so done after that.
I’ve personally had their Zinfandel and it is very nice, smooth clove and heavy pepper although I do say that their Pinot Noir is probably their best varietal.
Never had any of these varietals, but I’ve had their cab. It was pretty good from what I can remember, but I did get it for around 10 bucks at the local grocery store.
