My brother got me into wines nearly 15 years ago, his cellar is well over 3K bottles, mine around 325. My favorites include Robert Biale "The Black Chicken", anything from Orin Swift, Prisoner, and Plumpjack. There are so many options it's tough to say. I'll be making my annual trip to Napa Valley in November. The great thing about Napa Valley, great wines and food, Nov to me is the best time to visit.
