Favorite Red Wines

[Chef Ken]

What are your favorites?

Wine Alert!
VEO Grande, Cabernet Sauvignon of Chile. On a whim, I bought it. I'm no expert on wines but this one is a dud.

Aroma - armpit
Color - deep purple
Complexity - None
Balance - mildly acidic to pithy unpleasant bitterness.
Finish - bitter

I have had Chilean wines that are quite remarkable but this one may be better used for cleaning windows.

On our recent Liberty Of The Seas cruise we were befriended by a charming young woman from Chile. She really helped to make that cruise special. She is a bartender at Bolero's and she loves to talk about Chilean wines. She gave me some recommendations. Now I need to find the list.

I love Riojas. Faustino is very good.
Also enjoy Chateaneuf-du-pape.
Hope they have Riojas on our cruise.

ok.....welches...but in the context of favorite red wines....I haven't a clue what you mean .....so please someone explain this to me....you know you want to.

Bruce was being funny. Welches is a brand of grape juice.

Bruce says more in one or two words than a lot of people say in a paragraph and he is hilarious to boot!

Bruce is sort of the "Monty Python" of Canada;

we know he's funny--it's just sometimes we're not sure exactly why.

thanks guys........I've got it now.
so chef ken you started this topic but you still havn't revealed your favorite. I'm guessing youll go for a top of the range classic french.....or an excellent californian red.
