| Wine Drinkers So who loves wine, I do and could drink it everyday, but try not to, I love Chardonay and dark reds that have a bit of an oak flavor. I just helped start a wine club with gals from my neighborhood. We have the second meeting this Thursday. We have about 10 to 12 gals; half bring a bottle and the other half an appetizer. This time I get to bring the wine. It's Pino Noir, which is not one I drink often, I even had to look it up to see if it should be chilled, they say slightly chilled. So who else likes wine, and what kind do you like? last month was Savinghon Blanc, which I did not like. LOL you would think if I liked wine I would know how to spell them oh well I don't and I am to lazy to look it up, so I am going to go pour myself another "sample" glass from the extra bottle of Pino I just bought Cheers Donna

| I'm the opposite in taste. I love the whites, The reds tend to put me to sleep. Reisling is my favorite. Its on the sweet side - and I too can drink it every day but chose not to. Actually drinking a glass of red wine every day is good for you - just like dark chocolate. It has its benefits.

| I'm not too knowledgeable in wine but Lisa got me into malbec. I don't Luke whites. They seem too sour. Even though normally I like sour things. Now ask me about rum! |

We did "Wine Wednesdays" last summer. Friends would take turns hosting and we'd each bring a bottle to try different kinds. It's a great way to sample lots of varieties and a fun excuse to have a get-together.

| Not a big wine drinker, but Moscato d'asti is probably my favorite. I like Reislingalso. So many brands are too bitter for me though. I like also a fruity taste, but hate dark reds. Port is gross..and pinot grigio. Love Madria Sangria. Girlie wines/wine coolers/Arbor Mist. White zin is too strong for me. Crimson and Clover from Sandhill Crane is amazing..

| I don't like sweet wines. Riesling Pink Zinfandel Moscsato Wine coolers, etc I love Malbec, Merlot, Chardonnay,Cabs, Pino Grigio, etc. Like white and red equally. I also like making home made Sangria and Calimocho in the hotter weather.

| I like BOONE"S FARM STRAWBERRY HILL!!!! Guess that says everything that needs to be said about me being a wine conneusieur!!! Years ago, they had it marked incorrectly at the grocery,,,instead of $2.50/bottle they had it for $.25/bottle.....well, I loaded up on it, must have had 15 bottles in my basket...during checkout, the man that came up behind me, looked at my shopping cart, sniffed and said, "Thats what I like, a lady with a taste for fine wine"!! I dont drink hardly at all....and those 15 bottles of wine lasted me for almost that many years! |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | YorkieMom - BOONESFARM! Love it. We used to get blasted on that stuff in high school...ah, good memories. I'm happy they still make it, and seriously, who can beat $.25??? I've never been a big fan of whites, don't know why. Although, I do love champagne and prosecco - so delish! And not quite as dehydrating for me as wines tend to be...also, less headaches. Me and Tony used to drink a lot of red wine, but not much at all anymore. We like Cabs, Pinots, Sangiovese, occasional Barbera, occasional Shiraz, Merlots and blah blee. Willing to try almost any wine. One of my fave red wines is from Trader Joes. EVERY time I've had it available at a party - 10 people (yes, even the wine snobs) will ask what it is and want to write it down. I don't know what makes it so good, but it is...and so easy/smooth to drink. It's a Hungarian "dry red" (blend) called Egri Bikaver 'Bulls Blood'. It's usually $4-10....a crazy price for a drinkable wine!
