| Alright, we have a thread devoted to beer (which I don't drink because I have really never acquired the taste). So, why not a thread devoted to wine?!? My wife and I like to relax to a nice glass of wine (red's mostly) in the evening while we catch up on our day, read, or watch TV or a movie.
What is your favorite wine? What wines would you recommend to the rest of us?
My wife and I just tried a "Jackson Triggs Vidal Icewine" -- a dessert wine that is very sweet with a smooth finish. |

| Llano is a really nice vineyard here in Texas. Their Chardonnay is really good. _________________ | NapalmDave wrote: | if you have a comb over or wear your sisters pants then walk on, no use for you here

| Interesting, I occasionally drink a sip of wine, and ofcourse, during communion. (always only red)
I do enjoy our special wine for sabbath/communion, it's sweet israelian wine. |

I've actually had some of Coppolla's merlot. As I recall it was a dryer wine (even for a merlot), but enjoyable. |

| Possibly, Llano is carried at World Market. And there's one in Sioux Falls. _________________ | NapalmDave wrote: | if you have a comb over or wear your sisters pants then walk on, no use for you here

My wife and I actually buy a lot of our wines from World Market in Sioux Falls. I will inquire about Llano the next time we are there. Thanks! |

| If you live in or around Indiana (the only place this wine is sold that I know of) you might want to pick up the White Zinfandel by Oliver. It is a very good, sweet, desert time wine that is very smooth. We had some last evening with some homemade beer bread and a homemade artichoke dip. Delicious!!!  |

| I'm pretty sure I prefer wine over beer for my alcoholic fixation. I do like all kinds but my favorite right now has to be 'Fat *******' chardonnay. SO GOOD. http://www.fatbastardwine.com/our-wines-detail.php?wineryID=9&varietalID=4&wnme= |

| I like some wine, but not too often, and not all kinds. I'm a bit like the bartender in Hot Fuzz, I'm aware of two kinds. Red and... white. |

| I find wine to be terribly bitter, just as when I started to drink beer, so I guess I have to drink more wine so I taste it as a delicacy.. just as beer  (which I drink as if it were water  ) |

| Love a glass of red wine. I prefer cab sav over shiraz... I like the fruity flavours  . We have one of the more well-known wine regions (the Coonawarra) about 50 kilometres up the road. For my son's second birthday, we cracked open a bottle of Zema Estate... probably not available in the US (unfortunately for you all!). Sensational! |
