Lloyd it's not so much that I'm a gourmet dude with tastes (although I can find my way around a kitchen and tend to bitch slap someone if they put game in canned soup) but rather my taste preferences. My tastes in wine are more what made me pick those wines. I have hit or miss luck with Zins, but have had a number of Turley Wine Cellar old vine Zins that just blew my doors off. I can take those in small quantities, that's why over ripe California cab's (usually the mass market ones) turn me off. The Tuscan and Brunellos and Bordeaux for the most part make you think what's in the glass and are so multi dimensional and even austere at times that they keep you coming back. Clearly I know more about wine than Parker shotguns...
