Re: Hmm, anything I can still buy realistically that you like?

I'm not a big fan of the Big Swinging Dick appellations, nor do I drink much Cab Sauv these days. My focus is more Northern Rhone, Loire Valley, and Italian country wines for reds, Germany, Loire, and Austria for whites. The secret is to look at the so-called second tier of appellations- St-Joseph, Cornas, Crozes. And the vins de Pays. Look for St-Joes from Faurie, Cheze, Gaillard, Monteillet, Pichon, and Tunnel (Stephane Robert), Crozes from Graillot. Ogier's La Rosine is an astonishing Vin de Pays. Other hint: 2001. Most critics missed it, but the Rhone winemakers think it's the best vintage since '78 (at least).

In the Loire, just buy anything you see with a Louis/Dressner import label on it, red or white.
