I would think that east coast tends more towards blends and west coast tends to be single variatels.

Actually, most of our East Coast friends tend to heavily favor (but not always) Euro wines (French/Italian/Austrian/German), whilst our west coast buddies tend to bend more towards (but not always) west coast and down under vino.

If there's an east - west palate split, that's the biggest one I see. But it's by no means a clear split. I think there's more being made out of this then there ought to be.

Just my 2 oz.,

What about "I DRINK WINES WITH FOOD!"" do these people not understand?

Huh. I always order from the wine list first and then select something edible to go with it. :unsure:

Me too Rose! I like to joke that I buy the earrings first and then an outfit to match... but perhaps I'm looking at wine the wrong way (even though I choose it first)... to me it is the main meal (though food helps to enhance its flavors and absorb the alcohol).
