Martina is in.... Martini's are too out!

If you want good wine then it is real simple....a good quality claret will always, and I mean always knock the socks off anything else in the world.

Personal favourites

Toulierre dy puy 1996
Chateau La Violette 1998 Pomerol
Chateau de La Grande Chapelle 2000 Bordeaux Superieur

Mouton Cadet (a Bordeaux) is a good table wine choice. You're not going to impress a wine snob with it, but most of them consider it perfectly acceptable. And considering that it's only about $8 per bottle, it's a good value.

BTW, most stores are now selling 2001 Mouton Cadet, but if you find a leftover bottle from the 2000 vintage, snap it up. 2000 was a great year for Bordeaux... probably the best since 1982 and 1986. Still, Mouton Cadet is not a wine that's going to improve with age, so don't even think of storing it in the cellar... just drink up and enjoy.

Now, if money is no object, treat yourself to a bottle of 1982 Chateau Mouton Rothschild. It's easily the best wine I've ever tasted. Alas, a wine dealer is probably going to want around $750 for a bottle (expect the price to double if you get it at a restaurant).

one of the best french wine.

And an advice for french wine's lovers. In your store, try to find wines from 2003. There was a incredible heat wave this year and heat wave's year give wine a unique taste.

Oo oo oo wait 1971 Chateau Petit Villages

I drink at least 2 bottles of wine a week. I love red and white equally, depending on what I'm eating. I love so many different wines that I won't bother to list my favs, but if you don't normally drink much wine, start with a chardonnay. Very light and crisp tasting. Red wine takes a bit more time to appreciate.
