Favorite wine

[kristie]

my favorite is moscoto, which is a dessert wine from italy. it's a little sweet & very refreshing, which is what i like about it.

what kind of wine do you guys like if anyone here drinks wine?

 

[Concord]

I drink beer...But when I drink wine...I enjoy these types.

 

[CliffnDallas]

I want to go to Miami!

These are relatively cheap standbys that I pick up for the house.

White: Kendall Jackson Chardonnay (USA)
Red: Lindiman's Cabernet Sauvignon (Australia)

The Cabernet Sauvignon has a strong tack and is very peppery. Some people don't care for that to much, but I like it.

As always some years are better than others. (some a lot better)

I bet consider the "Wine and Dine" of your woman "Boone's and a Big Mac".

 

[WoodysGirl]

Moscato is the wine of choice for a lot of people.

But I like Riesling and Chardonnay, too. Don't care as much for Pinot Grigio, tho it's drinkable.

I'm trying to get into red wines, but I haven't found one that I can drink consistently.

 

[Meat-O-Rama]

Any Syrah from the Central Coast will do nicely.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Don Perignon.

hellz yeah

wait aren't you the guy who doesn't drink? (and in every thread about drinking, annoyingly drops by to state as much even though nobody gives a crap that you abstain)

I don't know if I drink enough wine to say I have a favorite. I think Malbecs are good values, as are some good Cote du Rhone I've had. I've had some pretty good burgundies. Cabs are pretty reliable. White wines mostly suck, especially the popular, syrupy sweet stuff. I generally prefer sake which I find more interesting and a better pair for anything other than beef.

Yeap that would be me

Don Perignon.

You've obviously never had Don Perignon, or you'd know it's champagne, not wine.

Better stick to your wine coolers and Zima, Bob.

As far as my favorite wine, I never bother to read the label. I should probably save the labels of particularly good bottles.

Try Ernest & Julio Gallo Cafe Zinfandel. Reds were difficult for me in the beginning, but I picked this up on a recommendation from a master Sommelier. (I worked for a liquor retail / class B distributer)

It's dirt cheap and a great first step into red wines. Especially since you seem to like sweeter or desert type wines. While it is a Zinfandel, it is not a white Zinfandel type wine. (I can't stand white zinfandels)

They don't carry it everywhere (probably because it's so cheap) You might have to order it at your local wine shop/liquor store or purchase it online.

Another red wine I like is Da Vinci Chianti.

I'll give them both a try. I really want to get into reds. My friends who drink it always tell me I'm missing some good stuff.

I don't care much for white zinfandel either after drinking real white wine. White zinfandel is club crapola.

Champagne is wine.

Favorite every day wine -- Rombauer Cabernet (we get a case of their Chardonnay, which is what they're known for, shipped to the house every year, but I don't like white wines)

Favorite expensive wine -- '82 Chateau Leoville-Poyferre
