They are such good value, too. I much prefer Argentina over Chile (in general).

Not yet, but rest assured we will!
I've had some really nice carmeneres from Chile.
We're not cab s drinkers, so I can't speak to those.
(Well, most of the time. We just finished a really nice cab blended with around 20% petit verdot with dinner...)

I've had this, though it's been a while. Very good bargain locally at CAD$16, a little over USD$12.
Couple bottles the other night.
Have you tried their Chardonnay? If so, is it as good as the myth would have us believe?

Jadot is nice! I remember picking up a 10 year old bottle of Chardonnay for dirt cheap (that had been forgotten in the back of a bin) at the local liquor store where I had my first professional job post-graduation. Kinda like picking up two racks of mint Starbursts for $50.
$5 and drinkable? Score!
What is the oldest wine any of you have had?
"Cono Sur" ? It would have to be a *great* wine to overcome the mental distress of dealing with that name...
Earliest date of bottling, or oldest at time of drinking?
I thought about that after. Let’s do both!
I guess 1974 Naoussa PDO (pure Xinomavro) by Boutari.
It was still young in 1981 and myself a little older (1969 vintage).
This bottle can still be found at just 85E, which may be a steal.

- Earliest vintages ever: 1957 and 1959 Ch. Cheval Blanc.
- Oldest at time of drinking: 1978 Ch. La Lagune, last of a case bought in 1983, drunk in 2020 -- 42 years after harvest. Still excellent.
- Oldest currently on hand: 1976 Windsor Vineyards, Sonoma -- bottled on July 4, 1976. The last bottle we tried was absolutely horrendous, so I wouldn't expect this one to be drinkable:

I didn't really start learning about wine until the early-to-mid 90's, so the oldest wine I've probably ever drank was 1985 or so. Probably a Tuscan, because when I started with reds they were all Italian.
On our honeymoon in Italy (1999), we went to a Tuscan winery called Castello di Verrazzano. Picked up two bottles of their Chianti Classico 1989. Popped one within a few years, popped the other on our 15th anniversary (25 years in the bottle by then). It tasted great!

News to me as well
But the pun into English, even if unintentional, is painful.

Really nice.
Narcissistic label, kinda?
Yes he is an interesting guy. If I remember he was in Mondavino.
I love Bordeaux... Sediment galor..., but god it was good for a reasonably priced wine. bought it in 2012 aged well.

I have some 2011 and 2016 Lilian Ladouys.
Always a good bargain at Costco, and a lovely wine that has been on the softer side, being a St Estephe. Came very, very close to popping one this past weekend.
