wine not whine

[boann]

do you know anything about wine?
whats your favorite or do you have one?
if you don't drink wine what do you drink?


im about to open an Australian pinot noir.
ive been sort of tasting my way through the countries.

[chequita guevara]

My favorite wines are:
all of them

Try and find out if there is a wine-tasting course near you. That's the best way to really discover the wonderful world that is wine.

My favorite reds are:
zinfindel
shiraz / syrrah (same thing)
pinot noir
trabbiano

favorite whites are:
chardonnay
sauvagnon blanc
pinot grigio (pinot gris)
reisling
gevurtziminer (i spelled that wrong)

My least favorite is:
merlot (and has been for over a decade, you johny-Sideways-watchin' come latelys!)

I also recommend joining a wine club, such as:

or

* ive been sort of tasting my way through the countries.

That are one of the more interesting ways to learn a country to know at a distance - often filled with joy and pleasance.

Some of my favourites are

Californian Zinfandel wines
Chateau Neuf du pape wines
Barolo from Italy
Garrafeiras from Protugal (sadly they vere better in the 80'es )

and then there are all the others wich just is nice to drink

* gevurtziminer (i spelled that wrong)

You can say that - I guess that you mean

gewürztraminer

wich is good, just as the Chardonnay blanc

I've only puked once from drinking and it from drinking too much wine.

And what a puke it was...

Since then the thought of wine turns my stomach... pity too since I really enjoyed drinking it.

You could start with just half a bottle of wine and keep the rest for next day. Most ordinary wines can easily survive for 24 hours, so no risk of waste.

so much wine and so little time... lol
well the Australian pinot noir was really good.

sometimes you guys really surprise me.

im a member of the local fine arts center
and they have wine tastings quite often.
though ive not been to one yet.
a wine club that sounds interesting

[Lancer]

I'm pretty particular. I'll take wine with a cork over wine with a screw top, and both of those over wine in a box any day.

[MichaeltheGreat]

There are over 4000 wineries in Bordeaux. The frogs know how to do things right.

[Spiffor]

Bordeaux is overrated overpriced export crap. We keep the good ones to ourselves

I don't classify wines with its kind of grape (Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Shiraz etc.), so I couldn't give you an interesting answer.

Save for Riesling and Gewürtzraminer, which are almost always good enought that they please the guests

I like wine...

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

These are the best wines I ever tasted.

Cigalus 1997
Virtuoso Primitivo 2000
Chateau Liot 1999
Souvrana 1995

My favourite red wines are Primitivo, Tempranillo, Zinfandel and Medoc. Chegitz is wrong about Merlot- there are great ones out there, but they aren't from the US. Chile makes fantastic ones.

For whites, I drink mainly Gewurztraminer. However if I'm going to indulge myself, I go for a Sauternes- pricey but fantastic.

My favourite wine is white with a drop of lemonade
