Anybody got some real good favorites?

(hey why not, it's good with a nice meal, or if you're in a really posh lounge :WinkNSmi: )

-Greg Norman Estates Chard., '98 -Greg Norman Estates Cabernet Merlot Coonawarra, '96 -Robert Mondavi Fume Blanc Reserve, '99 -Hangtime Pinot Noir '00/'01 -Robert Mondavi Merlot, '99 -Castellare Chianti, '00

amongst others...alas, the really old stuff is well out of my $$ range

for the cheap stuff, Yellowtail Chardonnay typically does the job :Who:

but my favorite (esp. after working in restaurants) is that people who think they have a clue about wine, really have absolutely none whatsoever :CrackUp: :CrackUp:

(ps I'm not a wine snob either by any means, but at least I have half a clue)

I'm not so keen on wine I'l only drink the cheap stuff as I don't think I appreciate a really expensive one!

Re: Wine

Are you into Reds or Whites?

Do you like Sweet, Mild, Semi-Dry or Dry wines?

Fruity, Oaky, Buttery,Tangy?

Sometimes buying a good bottle that ranges from 10-20 dollars is worth it when it comes to wine apreciation. When im in the mood for an intimate dinner with my partner, that is of course when im making dinner, i select something that counter-balances the dish and at the same time makes all those flavors wanna burst from the palade when your combining such flavors.

depends what ur taste are really. For a good white, german wines are good. Also a chablis or pinot grigio also good. Reds, I prefer chianti or pinot noir. IF ur interested I can give you names of wines. Jsut let me know.

Some Rieslings from Germany are very good. sweet n tangy, some have too much of a Tart after taste, making your mouth watery and also have a low alcohol %.

Re: Wine

Re: Wine

Mad Dog 20/20's! or Boons Farms! :Bingo:

Re: Wine

Ferarri Corano Merlot

I only like wine coolers

Re: Wine

I'm not a big wine person. But when I drink it, I prefer whites.

Beer or a mixed drink for me please! :Bingo:

I prefer white wines.

There are good ones on the north of Argentina, mostly Mendoza and San Juan ;)

heard good comments from Chile's wines as well

Re: Wine

i prefer semi-dry wines, merlot or whyte wines, chardonay, but i am not really a wine fan vodka-cola always goes better :)

Re: Wine

Well, now in Spain know about wine is a fashion, I made wine, but I don?t sell it just for the family , and a lot of people don?t know nothing about this, I?ve been making wine 4 years ago and I?m steel learning, but I tell you a thing the good wine is the one you LIKE IT,and not the one is cualifite good.

Re: Wine

Any blush is yum to me!

[quote=arielus";p="59847] heard good comments from Chile's wines as well[/quote]

Been drinking some lovely Chiliean wine recently, for the price an unbelievable bargin. Melot is my fave, followed by a nice Cab Sav.

tried a nice Sauvignon Blanc - Semillon couple weeks ago... that wine goes right up to your head :P

i'm not sure how does Semillon is called there :?

Re: Wine

I love the Wine's!!!The Wine is the best Drink!! :LoveYou: I like the red and the White wine also.Very Good both!! :WinkNSmi:

Re: Wine

i like the cheap stuff like the yellow tail shiraz. i like the shiraz grapes.

Re: Wine

i like...ummm.. i like shir....ummm...

sorry, i can't seem to concentrate with papa_giorgio's avatar bouncing back and forth in my face like that :HolyShit:

I drank a whole bottle of shiraz on friday and puked .... :( Maybe it was from the 3 sakis and 2 sapporos that I drank prior.... :NotMe:

I love the Penfolds and Jacobs creek wines. Also, a great heavy cab is perfect when it's nice and cold out. A very chilled chard is the best for a hot summer night.

peace, steve

Re: Wine

I've got half a clue... :Bingo:

Ruttini or Luigi Bosca... ;)

Re: Wine

i prefer white wines, too. but i'm not an expert on wine.

i like the coppla shiraz - $16/bottle.

I like Mad Dog or Cisco.. average 3.99 a bottle, lol

Cant get any better than a good bottle of a spanich Tempranillo, to bad you cant find them everywhere. But a good cab sav, merlot or a australian shiraz isnt to bad either. I love wine, can drink most reds and say they are good.

Re: Wine

When i was young,i drank Slivovice and Merlot :mrgreen: .It's Russian wine :wink: .Merlot is Moldavia wine. :mrgreen: I think wine is terrible but canabis is good :D

Re: Wine

I've been fond of the Penfold's Shiraz. Inexpensive, but full of flavor. I recommend it.

Re: Wine

Anything below 4 pounds at Sainsburys. I'm an expert on the most disgusting rat poison to get wankered on :BigSmile:

Re: Wine

French Rhone Valley reds are the best imo. Gigondas region.

California Cabs are damn good, but they need to ease up on the oak barrelling...sometimes the oak flavor overpowers the subtle notes of the wine itself.

I drink about 4 bottles a week, and i'm quite the snob about it too - i don't drink wine i can buy at the grocery store. :Bingo:

its all about the red.

a couple of inexpensive, yet VERY good reds are:

• wolf blass yellow lable
• bin 555

my favorite higher priced bottle is the wolf blass brown lable. those aussies sure know how to make a killer wine...

Re: Wine

Two Hands from Australia is a small winery that makes excellent wines. Their Angel's Share used to be $19 US but the Fuck$%^^%rers raised their prices to about $26. Still worth getting if you like Shiraz.

as much as i hate the french govt...nobody makes wine as good as the French.

Re: Wine

Depends in what part of the world youre in

but here for the price Chilean cabernet savignon merlot

Re: Wine

[quote=qwerty2222";p="59861]vodka-cola always goes better :)[/quote]

damn that seems like a taste you need to acquire

Re: Wine

bringing an old thread back to life, but Wine is an addiction. I can't go a night without red wine. (I know am an an alcoholic).

If you like Pinot Noir, try Mark West. $10 a bollte and one of the best you will ever try.

As for a good cab, try J Lohr. usually around 10 - 13 dollars, but well worth it.

Re: Wine

I 100% agree with Jenks. There is no wine better than French wine. I'm a sucker for Haut Medoc and Cotes du Rhone but will settle for St Emilion or Bordeaux Superieur. As for California, the only thing worth drinking is Duckhorn Merlot. Other than that I'll drink Williamette Pinots and Argentinian Malbecs.
