We opened a couple of bottles last weekend: 2013 Tignanello and 2012 Valdicava Brunello for my brother in law’s birthday. I preferred the Tignanello, while my wife preferred the Brunello. Everyone else was just happy we brought some wine to the restaurant.

I use frequently and find it will hold bottle for about 2 - 3 weeks if it is no more than half full. After it does lose a bit but still quite drinkable.
I prefer aged Cabernet/Bordeaux, Burgundy and most Italian varietals. I have well over 75 cases of wine. Some stored in locker, others in wine fridges.
The rest in several interior closets.

They are made from Nebbiolo which usually doesn’t make for heavy wines. Usually medium bodied with good acidity to cut through the rich dishes.( a lot of French/Swiss influence.

My recommendation for a great every day table wine is the Olema Pinot Noir, best $20 bottle you can find.

nothing more fun than using a shopping cart in a liquor store...
Good to get some feedback on Olema, Total Wine has been pimping these HARD. Which is usually a sign for me not to buy it

I tried the Honig because of this thread. Didn’t like it. Have to try the Nickel & Nickel but hate experimenting on a $100 bottle.

Had a 2014 Jason Stephens Cabernet tonight that was very good for sub $20. Local winery (Santa Clara/Gilroy) so I’m not sure how widely they are distributed, but worth picking up if you see it. Another Costco wine...

Opened a bottle of 2017 Lewis Cellars cabernet. I was pleasantly surprised. There was one vintage (can’t remember which) that was an absolute fruit bomb but this was much more balanced.

I think I enjoy seeing the granite countertops in this thread almost as much as I enjoy the wine suggestions.
