Default Wine Drinkers?

Mar and I are finally back from Napa. We were occasional wine drinkers prior to the trip and now I can say we're regular drinkers now.

I came home with 18 bottles costing roughly 1200. Not too shabby considering the wine we got.

Opus One Vintage FTW!!

Anyone else enjoy vino???

Not at Napa.

All the wines worth buying are reserves and estate wines not normally distributed.

FYI a newer 02 Opus One was going for 165/bottle. a 97 vintage was going for over 500 a bottle.

Most of the wines we purchased are Napa Exclusive.

And yes.. there are a million great wines under 30.

Regular wine drinkers are just classy alcoholics.

What did you pick up? Mostly white wines or a mixture of both? I've tried red wines before, but they're still a bit too strong for me. h:
