What's your favourite wine?

I realize I can’t pick out a favorite.
But three wines that I really enjoy currently are:
Hofgut Falkenstein Spätlese feinherbst “Meyer Nepal”. Falkenstein is old school Mosel riesling. Very high acidity. This one is perfectly balanced by the residual sugar, making it a very fresh and crisp wine. The color is very light but the flavor is intense.
Kelly Fox Mirabai. Oregon. Her entry level pinot noir. Fruit driven, light almost shiny red wine, fresh fruit and acidity, no tannins. Surprisingly intense given its color, a very drinkable wine.
Conterno Gattinara. Nebbiolo from Alto Piemonte - I love nebbiolo, and this is a fairly light version from a serious producer. Obviously tannic, but with a fresh fruit as well. Smells of strawberry. I think it will age very well.
I drink a lot more white than red, so it’s a bit strange that two reds make it on the list, but then again, a lot of wine drinking doesn’t make sense.

I love Côte Rôtie but it doesn't travel well, you really have to drink it in France

@hajduk Nice looking evening and wines.

Love a NZ Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and been drinking The Doctors 9% for three years now. Actually tastes better than 90% of regular wines and a bottle leaves no hangover!

@Tago-Mago …the ‘68 is

For ports, I tend to stick to the 10-20 year range for cost and anything older is special occasion. The ‘68 is a special occasion to be shared with friends who would appreciate it.
We did a family dinner once where we served some pretty good wine with the price tags to go with it. They took one sip and looked for Sprite to put into it…
Last time they ever had one of my good wines

Unfortunately I didn't take pictures of the 4 bottles of wine the four of us went through last evening.
