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.

i love wine


I'm fan of Coppolla's stuff. I loved the Cabernet Savignon wine from California(forgot the brand...will look when I get home)

My fiancee and I usually drink Pinot Noirs.

Llano is a really nice vineyard here in Texas. Their Chardonnay is really good.

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.

Hmm? I wonder if you can get that in South Dakota?

Possibly, Llano is carried at World Market. And there's one in Sioux Falls.

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.

I've tried a few different kinds of wines, but I dont know what they're called.

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.

hahahahaha

I had an extremely bad experience with red wine during my Spain trip >.<
no more wine for me haha

i like bum wine cuz its cheap and effective

I don't know any particular brands but Pinot Noir is by far my favorite type.

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 )

It was definitely a taste I had to acquire, I HATED wine at first. It was thanks to communion at church that I ended up getting the taste for it.. heh. :p

I like wine better then beer.
Tho I still don't like anything with alcohol

I used to drink beer but now I prefer Rosé or some other wine.

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!

My boss at work got me bottle of Bulgarian Merlot..... I'm into things Balkan and can't wait to drink this and use a really nice wine kit that my Gf's mom got me for Christmas

I am a recovering alchoholic. I leave it all alone. Have not touched a drop in over 15 years.

respect man, you're doing great!
