I mainly drink Italian wines. Folowed by American wines, followed by French wines. Really it is because that is what I find in the liquor stores around me. I know France is meant to be the best, but I drink Italian most of the time. Some italian wines I like are Nebbiolo wines (Barbaresco, Barolo, Gattinara), Etna Rosso, and Sangiovese (Rosso di Montalcino, Vino Nobile, Brunello).

I have always been kind of dissapointed with the Bourdeaux and Red Burgundy that I have bought. Of course I know the high end bottlings of these things are the best, but I cant afford that stuff. I DO have to say I love a good Cote du Rhone. Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Vacqueyras, and Gigondas are always very delicious.

As far as American wine, Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is fantastic. Russian River Valley also makes good pinot noir. I have to admit I do love a good, big, extracted Napa cab as well. One cool wine I discovered is Washington State Syrah, there are some insane syrah being produced there.

Been really into wine this past year. I was always more into beer, I still buy it on occasion but most of the time I have been drinking wine. I mainly drink Italian wine, followed by US wine, followed by French. Bought a nice Burgundy for Thanksgiving alongside the obligatory and shit Beaujolais Nouveau for my family who doesn't drink nice things.

An interesting (to me) wine I bought recently was a K Vineyards Syrah. Apparently Washington State Syrah is really good apparently. I like French Syrah, so I though I expect the American version will be dialed to 11 but I actually love super over the top American wines like Orin Swift or whatever every once in a while so I am still excited.
