If you don't remember Davy Crockett on TeeVee, you should, at least,
remember the Daniel Boone series. Fess Parker was a class act. RIP, dear
man, you brought a lot of people a lot of joy with your craft(s), whether
they be on the large screen, small screen or in the vineyard.

Fess Parker was a lot more than wine!

There are numerous exceptional pinots from Santa Barbara (Melville and Lane
Tanner among them). The Parkers are drinkable, but undistinguished, IMO.

Some killer zins, too. Most huge zin I've ever run across was from
Santa Barbara Winery.

While Fess is not oustanding in the glut of CA wineries, move to
Colorado. It becomes a shining beacon on small town liquor store
shelves.

99% of the time that I'm drinking wine (which is not all that common), it's
as an accompaniment to food. The more "distinguished" a wine is, the more it
distracts from the food. If I want wine to partner on an equal footing with
the food, it's okay to have a wine which deserves that kind of attention,
but that's not normally the case.

I had a wonderful wine from Santa Maria tonight.... 2006 McPrice Myers
Grenache L'Ange Rouge. Not the most expensive of the bunch, but the
one I liked the best.

Considering that I've actually tried several west slope Colorado wines
(shudder), I'll defer to your judgement on any matter concerning wine in
Colorado. 8

But I have no trouble finding decent wine i Denver and the Springs. Even scenic
downtown Berthoud. Smaller than that I won't go, even in ski season.

Yeah, those West Slope wines are pretty grim. Lotta fruity nonsense
wines like elderberry/sassafrass.

The metro areas have some pretty impressive liquor stores, one's that
put Bevmo to shame. Where I'm at, we have maybe a half dozen corner
stores between two small towns, one that carries anything of note.
While beer --very good beer-- is well represented in CO, wine not so
much. I've stumbled onto a couple of decent CA examples, a Lodi zin
for one. OTOH, a bottle of Lous Jadot Pouilly Fuisse was almost $30.
Yikes! I'd kill for a trip to trader Joe's, of which there are none
in CO.
