rastadok Veteran Author Florida Posts:275 Points:8,920 Joined:Oct 2012	Message Posted: Apr 20, 2013 2:39:58 PM Ignore rastadok Report Abuse With Jesus at the last supper - I believe it was Mogen David. Last night? ..... a PINOT NOIR - A good one, and I was told it was NOT expensive ..... It was either Napa Valley, or French. PINOT NOIR is probably my favorite burgundy. I also really enjoy a decent SYRAH (or Shiraz [or Shirazi], which I believe is its Persian name). The Australians are responsible for its relatively recent explosive popularity. The southeastern Australians tend to be excellent, as well as cheap. Even my wife likes Shiraz, whereas she finds Pinot Noirs and Cabernets too dry for her taste. She likes Merlots. Merlots are, IMO, tolerable, but never excellent (per MY tastes). I was taught as a kid (by a wino who bought me a six-pack of beer) ..... "you NEVER outgrow your need for MUSCATEL!"
