Haha. Yeah, but these are the good kind of problems. The problems that make other problems seem less problematic. [emoji6][emoji485][emoji485] LOL

Do you belong to one of those wine listing where you get wine every month for the wine of the month?

Not exactly. I make an annual trip or two up to paso Robles/central coast and come back with a variety that were tasted. This last haul was about two cases of assorted. I'm also part of a few wine clubs from the wineries in paso that stood out to my liking. That spaces out another two cases throughout the year.
A good majority are organic, sustainable, biodynamic, and dry farmed. That's something MTG brought to my attention in this thread. Small vineyards are still able to produce this way, and I prefer to support the small growers and makers as well.
Wine is like art. Everyone's tastes are a little different. So going to do tastings each year of regional varietals allows me to learn and primarily buy only wine I will like.

Looks like a bottle spilled on your bottle. [emoji6]
Nebbiolo? Do share more as to characteristics, cuz I don't want to google.

All of their wine labels look like this...
It is one of my two favorite varietals (the other is barbaresco) traditionally from the Piedmont region of Italy, home of my very favorite Italian wine...Gaja (my wife and I first started dating after a bottle of '98 Gaja Barbaresco)...it is now being grown in CA, OR & WA...medium bodied red, with raspeberry/blackberry/cherry notes...it can be a big wine, usually requiring about 8-10 years of bottle aging, but well worth the wait. Pairs well with grilled steak and lamb...

Once in a while.
Most of the time it's my wife drinking a glass and me drinking the rest of the bottle.

The kid is off to camp so Mom and Dad get to eat (and drink) whatever we want for the next three weeks. Tonight was arugula/fennel salad, mixed olives, smoked salmon with garlic/parmigiana toast, rosemary bread with olive oil and balsamic and jumbo lump crab cakes. Wine was a terrific Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley, Oregon.

Got a Hope Family Vineyard Mouvedre going tonight. Super dark in color, yet very light on the pallet. Tasty to say the least. [emoji485]
Also, not sure about all, but was at my local albertsons today and they had Treana chard for a decent price. Didn't think Treana was that widely distributed. Worth it if you can find it and enjoy white wines.
