John, I just discovered this after your reply. I had read the thread subject, but did not open it up until now. You`re right, same article. Thanks for the heads up. How can I remove this one?

+1 on Chateau Meyney.

Never been impressed by a second wine. A lot are from very young vines and I don’t see them improving with age; fine for $20, a joke at $45-$100. There are loads of first wines from $30+ that have proven track records, surely only the terminally lazy (or stupid) are paying more for less.

+2 Chateau Meyney. +2Why pick a bunch of second wines?

No need to. It will slowly slip off into oblivion…

Interesting take, I just spent a 5 days in Bordeaux, on the right bank mainly in Entre Deux Mers region, and found several very good, compelling wines for $20 or less. Sure, there is an ocean of generic, decent wines made there, but if you just do a bit of research on the Bordeaux and Bordeaux Superieur wines, you can find some really great QPRs.

As long as you are onsite, in Bordeaux, I’m sure this is true.

Quite often, however, I find myself outside of France.

The concept of “local” is surprisingly powerful.

Unless you live where I do.
Muscodine wine
at least our local shrimp are good

Scott you should drive up I-26 to Greens in Cola (shameless plug, no affiliation, etc)
They always seem to have a good selection of “value” Bordeaux. I think they direct import much of it.
