Help me with this wine, please!

That's a perfect fondue wine. Skurnik is an excellent importer.

Thanks!

Ok, wine experts (@Shadow , @The OMWC ..... how about some thoughts on this one?

That's a perfect fondue wine.

^^^^^This. Exactly.

^^^^^This. Exactly.

Thanks!

What I like about the affirmation here is that it confirms the “wine guy” I usually rely on at my usual place knows what he’s doing.

I would have thought that you would soon discover if he knows what he's doing by how much you like his recommendations. If he has a low hit rate, I would ignore his advice!!
Is your 'usual place' a wine/booze store? If it is, I would be surprised if he did not know what he was talking about !

I always like some confirmation from a better-informed/educated third party. I don’t always trust myself as to whether something is “good” or not, especially where wine is concerned. My favorite champagne of late is a $7US screw-top variety from ALDI!

Yes, it is, but that’s not always an indication of success that way. I’ll point out the time I went to a dedicated wine shop, asked for a wine recommendation (for fondue), and the owner himself told me, “Oh, you’re cooking with it? Just get the cheapest one you see, you won’t know the difference.”

In that case, I seriously suggest you find a new wine shop!!
