Hooray for good cheap wine.
So, I’ve discovered another wine that I actually like: the 2003 Louis Jadot pinot noir bourgogne. It’s relatively mass market stuff, so it’s pretty cheap - about $20 a bottle. (or around $13 if you mail order it, apparently) It’s simple and very drinkable, and I think it goes great with lamb (which is good, because that’s what I bought it for). I’m presently having a glass of it with some crackers and cheese, and I like it here too. I don’t claim to know a damn thing about wine, but I’ve at least tried enough things to know what I like and what I don’t, and this one is on my Good List. I tried their chardonnay as well - I don’t recall what vintage it was, but it’s whatever they had at Safeway last week. I thought it was decent too, so I’ll have to try it again sometime.
