Not a pinot fan at all.

Give me a big Zin or a Barbera and I'm happy.
I have found that many wine drinkers evolve though the same basic phases:

Sweet wines to start (BF etc.)

Chardonnay, the oaky buttery US versions

Zinfandel, the jammy high alcohol types

Cab and merlot, a lot of folks just stop here (which is not a bad place to stop really, venturing into Italian types)

Pinot Noir (initially the US stuff and then Bourgogne)

Chardonnay (the French stuff like Chablis or GC)

Bubbles get in here somewhere

Dry Riesling

It's a bit surprising, but the two master sommeliers I have chatted with list Riesling as their top wines.  They don't export much of the good stuff to the US.

The wife loves Champagne, though I have talked her into some less expensive US types and Cremant.  I like everything, not equally well of course.  I lean to favoring anything good from Burgundy.

I like Prosecco, but since it's been outed it's gotten much more expensive. The Spanish version is still not easy to find. I wish I could transport my old liquor store to here.

I'm at Cab and Merlot.
Might not ever make any farther

I'm not evolving. Well, maybe. Just ordered a case of Chianti Classico from my favorite Tuscan winery, La Sala.

Borat 2 was surprisingly hilarious. I just thought it was bound to suck as Sascha Baron Cohen and his characters have just become too famous- thought it would be too hard to fool/trick people- and because sequels almost always disappoint. Pleasantly surprised. And that guy is a genius man. How he stays in character and never breaks astounds me.

The wife buys a LOT of the Kirkland prosecco, it's $7 per bottle, and quaffable.  

Even folks who have evolved still like cabs etc. of course.  Some of the great wines are cab blends obviously.

We had grilled steelhead trout last night with a Regusci Rose' of pinot.  Steelhead trout is about my favorite fish.

Last New Years Eve, when in Florence, we went on a winery tour out into the Tuscan countryside. The tour bus was full of Americans. When we left Florence, it was 9 AM and everyone was pretty quiet listening to the tour guide. By the end of the day, everyone was trashed and were yelling and laughing like we'd known each other forever. We did have a full case of one of the wineries shipped here.

I also demolished a 800g bisteca Florentina later that night. It was a good day.

Which tour did you do? Do you remember the name and the places you saw?

My wife likes the Kirkland prosecco quite a bit, and it's $6.99/btl here in SoCal. Not sure how FL excise taxes compare to CA (it's one of the few things that isn't horribly taxed here in CA) but you may want to give it a try.

Thanks for the tip. I will try that.

Costco expires in about a month for us, and we'll not renew. Sam's is much closer to us.

We booked our tour through Tuscan Grape Tours, their office is on south bank of the Arno just east of the Ponte Vecchio. The first place we went was Castello Sonnino. I don't remember where the other two places were, the details got a little hazy as the afternoon went on.

The dinner was at Trattoria Panemonio de case Brogi.
