I've been bouncing around southern California all week. And since I dont live here (yet), I frequently am forced to take my meals at restaurants. Now this probably sounds wonderful to some of you, and it is (sometimes), but sometimes when you're on the road you just want to grill a piece of chicken, slice a tomato, and be done with it.
What makes it worse is being subjected to the garden variety wine lists these restaurants so proudly display. Like serving that bottle of Zinfandel found in any local liquor store with a funny name for $45 is such a treat. Seeing that same bottle in the aisles for $14, it gets my dander up.
A rising star in the www.avawine.com arsenal is Fallbrook Winery. They're located between here and Temecula up in the hills, and they're selections have been very warmly received by our wine club members over the years. I met their winemaker last February, and quite frankly he could have cared less about me or my stupid website. He makes wine, and if you cant speak in that language, he'd just assume be doing something with his grapes.
The result is some pretty spectacular selections. If you're in the market for a Merlot, look no further. By clicking this link, you get twelve bottles of a Merlot you cant find anywhere else, for about the same price as those marketing gimmick selections I talked about up top. And I'll even pay for the shipping.
