Found my favorite red wine

[jasondon]

I'll start this by saying I'm not a huge wine drinker, however this Pinot noir was fantastic.
My wife and I were away for a weekend and bought a nice bottle, $40 or so (at Costco) and both agreed it was one of the best red wines we've ever tried.
Has anyone else tried this?

I have never tried it but.....

How can you have found your favorite wine when you haven't even found your next favorite yet!

Soooooo many wines! Have not tried that one. If you like pinot noir though, try to track down a bottle of Louis Latour or Fat Bastard (Both from France). Just a couple of my personal favorites, in pinot noir. Glad you found something you like but don't stop there!

On a wine tour a few years back in Sonoma we discovered the Cline wines. We like quite a lot of their reds and the price is considerably cheaper than $40.

Had "Freak Show" last night (another CA wine) and enjoyed it very much. I confess I was initially attracted to the crazy label. Lots of wine out there.

Our goal is to find one we really enjoy for closer to $25, but you might have a fatter wallet.

Thanks for the suggestions!
No not a fatter wallet, it was a special occasion. That is the most expensive wine we've tried, buy it came highly recommended so we gave it a try.
Mr second favorite Pinot is Meiomi. Cheaper and also excellent.
Looking forward to trying the others mentioned in this thread... I'll report back!

Meiomi is a fantastic pinot!
