I cannot recommend enough Moore Brothers in NYC, Pennsauken NJ and Wilmington DE. I go to the shop in NJ, but they ship wine nationwide from a selection they buy from smaller wineries in France, Italy, Germany, some CA.
My current favorite is Syrah/Grenache blend, Cotes du Luberon A
Artemes rouge,$12. My wife just bought a case of Bergerac Sec domaine du Petit Paris, $13?.

EuroCaves, 500 bottle collections, thanks guys, there are obiously some wine enthusiasts in the 993 world. Hopefully we haven't uncovered it all yet. I am still waiting to hear from somebody that has a huge collection in their climate contolled basement cellar. Of course, so far, I am taking notes from everybody that posts on what their favorite pick is.

Wine, I've found, is a more expensive habit for some of us other than our 993s!
For the Silver Oak fans, this Saturday (tomorrow) is their "Release Day", a real fun time for many oenophiles in the Bay Area: http://www.silveroak.com/news/release_day.html

On special occassion I drink 99 or 00 Kendall Jackson Cab. Daily I drink Cab or merlot from Argentina. (nothing special just whatever garden variety that's from Argentina) For whatever reason (from living in Miami days), red meat taste better with red wine from Argentina.

Let's see:
Montes Alpha 2005 Cab (Chile)
Houge Genesis 2003 Cab (Washington)
Chateau St Michelle various yrs Cab (Washington)
5 Star Cellars Cab
Buty Winery all
Tamarack Cab
Pepper Bridge all
Columbia Cab <$10
Clearly there is a Washington bias but they are here and easy to buy for a decent price. I also love all kinds of big Napa Cabs but am priced out of many of them.
My cellar is 600 bottles on racks plus some floor space. We also have a 60 bottle fridge upstairs for the summer whites.
Cheers!

Right now, I am partial to Chilean, Argentinian and Australian reds. Zins too. I also like Sauvignon Blancs and the better Greek wines (given my heritage).
Rome, a '91 Silver Oak Cab I had was quite memorable. Good stuff.
Bruce, I am also a fan of Montes and Chateau St. Michelle. All good values and easy to find.

Menage a Trois - 2006 California Red. $9.99/bottle - great taste for the price.
My favorite right now is Staglin - 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon - Love it! Pricey so I don't drink it too often.

I'm a cab/merlot guy. I like Fat Bastard quite a bit....
Anyone tried Kevin Buckler's Adobe Road? I'd love to buy a bottle or two to support the Racers Group efforts, but it's not available in Missouri...

Recent faves have been Schafer Hillside Select.
Was pleasantly surprised by a Turley Zin recently also.
Most of our wine is bought a drank but we do have a few 'specials' - still waiting to get a wine fridge.
Most expensive is definitely the 1952 Chateau Cos Destournal a couple of years ago - it was amazing and definitely the best Bordeaux I've ever had.
Last year (EDIT: All were 'consumed on my birthday!!) I was lucky enough to have a 95 Opus and a 94 Caymus Special Select (Preceded by a 1990 Grande Dame - did someone say champagne?? Dont get me started there!!).
Regular DDs include Banfi Chianti, Modus 2000's and I recently found a Penfolds Cab Reserve at BevMo which runs about $10-12 but drinks like a $50-70 bottle of wine (I've blind tasted it a couple of times with friends and none of them can believe the price after drinking it).
South American faves are Clos De Los Siete which made WS top 100 a couple of years ago and can be had for under $20.
Am also a big fan of the Montepulciano Nobile wines - nice.
Now I need to go home and have a drink!!!
