Sorry for my misinterpretation. - I saw the name "Walla Walla" in your ID and your mention of making wines, and selling out of wines in 10 months, so I wrongly assumed you were with CC. I'm assuming you do work with one of the Washington wineries. - Is this so?
I can understand (and share) the interest you and others have in researching wines, going to wine tastings, developing a relationship with a wine merchant, etc. However, as mentioned, I also have a number of other interests, some of which are expensive and time consuming. (E.g., sailing, and maintaining a sailboat; astronomy (operating several rather large scopes, going to observing events, meetings, etc.), music (listening, playing the piano, attending concerts, etc.); reading, in a number of categories; travelling; socializing, with my wife and others; Alliance Francaise activities; exercising at a local gym and elsewhere; doing occasional legal work (although I'm substantially retired); church, charitable, and community activities; etc. Also, of course, modifying and listening to my stereo/HT system, into which I have invested many $$$ and many hours. Reading a number of related sources, including the Asylum.
My point isn't that my interests are any more important or interesting than those of anyone else, but I feel that I should at least try to follow some of priorities when deciding how I spend my time. - And spending hours and hours studying wines, going to wine tastings, etc., in order to become an expert oenophile is not at the very top of my bucket list.
In any event, thanks again to the several AAs who have posted suggestions. Incidentally, I have been to a number of wine tastings, including tastings at our local wine outlet. I'm particularly interested in Bordeaux wines, and if anyone has suggestions for some good choices for under $30 - $40 or so, I would appreciate getting them.
Jim
