| Hey everyone,
I thought this would be a fun post, so lets see what eveyone thinks. So, name the two wines ( 1 Red & 1 White....not 2 or 3 of each, just 1 ) that fit your palate perfectly......I know that all of you have one wine that has all the flavors that you love, the body/texture that you prefer, a bouquet that makes you always want more, and a mid-palate and finish that leaves you weak-kneed.  So, pick out ONE red wine and ONE white and tell us why those are your two perfect wines. They don't have to be 100 point, or even highly rated wines. They just have to be the two that fit your personality and your palate. I know it is hard to pick just one. I'm even having a huge dilemma right now picking my red, but I want everyone to narrow it down to just that one that feels just right to you.
Mine are:
Red : 2001 Abreu Cabernet Sauvignon Thorevilos -- I had a really hard time choosing this, because I am a HUGE fan of a certian HSS, but this was takes the cake because it is just soo rich and textures, but also amazingly pure and delineated. Every gorgeous flavor comes through with striking purity and elegance. I absolutely loved it.
White: 1988 Salon Le Mesnil -- while I love many white wines, Champagne is my weakness. Besides, this champagne tastes like a rich toasty blend of the best of Meursault and Chablis with buttery, toasty flavors, with honey, nuts, and mushrooms, cut through by an intense acidity full of lime, lemon curd, and a fine grained minerality that brings it all together. Beautiful!
So, what are yours?
