We got the Finca Altamira as a second bottle along with one to give my Chairman who introduced me to Malbec. It's one of the few bottles that we moved to Phoenix with us since it's hard to get wine cross country in 100 degree weather so we wrapped it up in clothes and checked about ten bottles in luggage. In B'more we had a 90 bottle antique riddling rack that we left behind and average about 45-55 bottles at a time. My husband goes on buying sprees. Right now, we probably have 30 bottles, but he's also been distracted by Scotch. Go figure. It's easier to find wine in Phoenix than Maryland because we have HUGE wine stores here.

I was just saying what you were - that the market gets flooded on the low/medium end, so spend some time looking around/tasting and find the ones you like best. I might have just said it worse, haha.  |
I figured that's what you were saying...just translating since someone posted that your post was unnecessary. I'm trying to figure out where they're going next with the next new thing. I just drink what I like if I'm picking by the glass or what my husband puts in front of me if drinking by the bottle.
