Thanks.  You will have no problem getting wine recomendations from this bunch.....lots of good wine drinkers.  Of course, then there is Mr. Healthy and his Diet Coke fetious (LL) lol.  I like Diet Coke, but put a little Crown in it for goodness sakes!

From my years in Tacoma / Seattle area, I am on the Leonetti Wine List -- which means they get to charge me a ton of money for some really good juice.  The list was closed for years, but I believe you can find the wine now as they have expanded (probably not as good).  At one time, they made the #1 Merlot in the world (~1998 / 1999), according to Wine Specator.  I like their cab even better as this is my very special occasion wine as I only get a case a year now.   This year will be even harder as we closed our company's KY warehouse up by emit and everything is in TN now -- can't ship wine into TN.  Here's a start:

We also have a few single malt drinkers mixed in -- I tried an 18 yr old Laphroig last week as a friends wine and whiskey event (lots of that in Nashville these days) -- very smooth and very peety, much better than the 10 yr old stuff I have.  This is not my specialty, but I love good single malts and I have had several very good recomendations from this board.
