I love wine! I mean love it! I am more of a white wine drinker but do enjoy a good pinot noir, cabernet or shiraz.
Nothing beats a good creamy, buttery chardonnay though. To me, those are the best! I had a Clos du Val 2001 Chardonnay that was the BEST wine Ive ever had. I remember it still. It had hints of butterscotch and back then I was only 23 years old and was new to wine, so I heard butterscotch and decided to try it. Ive never been able to find it again. Now it's probably way too late!
There is this cheap wine here called SeaRidge, the chardonnay is really good! It is thick and has hints of butterscotch. Its about $6 a bottle!
I have to say that I need to stop drinking wine for a bit. I have gained so much weight!!! Wine is roughly 140 cals for 6 oz. I bet you my glasses are more than 6 ounces! LOL
My sangria recipe is pretty decent too... if anyone wants to try it. I am planning on trying a few of the recipes here!
I use strawberries, cut up oranges, lemons & limes.
Bottle of Merlot or Zinfandel (red)
1/2 a bottle of OJ
1/2 a bottle of spiced rum
2 cups of sugar
Its horrible for you, but it taste great!! haha
