Wine!!

[wandsandwine]

So I've had a couple glasses tonight and was wondering what kind of wine you all like best. Red , white, dry, fruity? I love Pinot Noir with a buttery finish

[merry]

Dry white

[merede3]

I like em all. Except dry whites. Dry whites are yuk.

Flahahah, sorry, it wasn't personal! ;-)

[mislogis]

Pretty much any kind! Discovered naked grape moscato. $6.99/bottle mmmmm

[mc03]

Red, big and bold. I love a strong cab. Our house wine right now is a starmont Cabernet.

[yogini kiki]

Big Reds and Dry Whites!

[kcoop08]

Loving Cabernet lately!

[daisylola11]

I like the blends, menage a trois has some good ones

[mrsnorris]

I'll drink all kinds of stuff- not picky. However, I discovered a while back that red seems to give me a headache, so I'm mostly a white wine girl now, with the occasional "pink", as we call it, thrown in. When I can actually drink more than a glass or two here or there I may try again and see if that's changed. I miss red sangria a lot. Mostly we just drink the $2.50 stuff from TJs. I'm useless in discussions about good wine.

I LOVE Pinot noir! I'm out and need to pick some up this weekend!

[islandlover]

The cheap kind from the grocery store. I have no idea how to order wine or what to even look for if I was going to buy "good" wine.

[mfsunshine]

Chateau Saint Michelle Cabernet is my all time fav. But any Cabernet will do. I'm not big on any of the white wines except White Peach Sangria...I was a bartender for years and have a recipe for this that will knock your panties off!

Cabernet! Rodney Strong is one of our favorites!

[gahorseygal]

I love red blends but I'm allergic to a particular grape and we have yet to figure it out. So sometimes I get really red and my throat gets super itchy when drinking a glass of wine and I have to down some benadryl. But I prefer red.

[tinkerbell019]

I used to really like red wines, but it's given me headaches the past few years. Kendall-jackson chardonnay is one of our regulars, and we use a variety of yellow tail for cooking/sangria.

[kat5040]

All of it. Lol. We have a cab sav fermenting in the basement right now that we have to bottle on the weekend. It's our first batch so I'm hoping that it turns out.

[sjshark]

I love cabs and zins, but I love trying other new wines too. We live close to Napa valley so we are lucky to be able to go wine tasting every couple of months or so.

[pineapplemae]

I love Malbecs because they are a delicious balance between fruity and earthy. But H is a bar manager at a craft beer bar and has totally turned me into a beer snob recently, so I almost never drink wine anymore lol. Mmm vanilla porter

[puffandstuff]

I like it all. I have no idea what to get so I get the cheap stuff. This is what's in my pantry.

[Courtniko]

Bold, dry reds. But I also enjoy crisp dry whites. A wine well paired with food, especially a Chardonnay with salmon is always a winner.

[Deleted]

If I'm just having a glass at night, almost always white: riesling, pinot grigio or sauv blanc. But if I'm eating a steak or pasta with marinara or something that goes well with red, I'll have a pinot noir or a malbec. The only ones I ever turn down are super heavy reds (like a Tannat) or chardonnay - I hate the oak taste.

I am always get confused by wine descriptions. How do people know what earthy and oak tastes like? I just picture people chewing on trees with handfuls of dirt going, yep tastes like a Cabernet.

I can only ever identify those types of flavors if they are really strong.  Like some chardonnays, its like you can taste the barrel it was in. I'm not a fan of that. 

[crazyhair]

German Riesling ! I can't handle red wine, I find it too strong!

Can you share?!?!

[khopec]

Cabernet is my favorite...Cupcake Cabernet is my go to.

I love prosecco as treat.

Also during the Summer time I like wine spritzers...pinot grigio mixed with sparkling water and ice.

[wickednomnoms]

Not a huge red wine fan but will drink it if there's nothing else I like pretty much any white but prefer
Chardonnay or Riesling.

[Courtniko]

Oh my gosh, how did I forget Champaign! I friggen LOVE Champaign/Sparkling white.

[lunarmodule626]

Love all the wine, but I'm always stocked with Alamos Malbec and La Crema Chardonnay.

mfsunshine  DO share, girl. I love your taste in wine. Chateau Ste. Michelle Cab was our wedding red and we will always have a bottle in our "collection" at home. (I say that as if wine lasts very long around these parts!)

I'm pretty equal opportunity red, white, dry, fruity. I can appreciate most. I think I like Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blancs the best.

I do love me some sparkling/champagne and port- not together, just I like them both.
