Okay, here's a couple of the wine's I've had. Keep in mind, almost all of these were bought at Cost Plus World Market - there's usually quite a large sale-wine selection there, which is great for someone who's still finding out what they like / don't like.

1: http://www.wine.com/V6/Duval-Leroy-N...44/detail.aspx

-this Champagne was pretty good. Just a touch dry (to my taste), but still sooo much better then the Asti that my aunt used to bring to Christmas celebrations. It was good enough to get my mom to drink aMimosa, anyway.

2: http://www.wine.com/V6/Fairview-Viog...48/detail.aspx

-this wasn't one of my favourites. It was really dry, in my opinion. Could've been that I just wasn't accompanyingitwith the right foods, though.

3: http://www.worldmarket.com/Moselland...ty/1/index.pro

-when I bought this, I figured I wouldreally like it, being how it's not as dry as some of the others I had tried. To be honest, though, I found it to be a little bland. Great looking bottle, though.

That's pretty much it, for right now. Might post up some of the locals / MA wines later. Most of the places we bought from ship to other states, so you never know...

Sweet. I've got two aunts that are sort of my wine mentors, I guess. One is really into local wines, and actually going to the wineries. The other is into the more expensive stuff (pretty big Dom drinker back in the day). Her and my uncle actually spent their 25th anniversary in Paris, but never made it out to any vineyards.

Yeah, Thats cool... I have a bottle of Dom somewhere. It's not as big as it used to be to have a Bottle of Dom. I guess in certain places you can find it for cheap nowadayz. Somewhere along the line I'm gonna have to get a bottle of cristal and compare it to other champs. I've tasted.
