What kind of wines do you like?

[lilfoot]

If we are buying wine, we usually buy a Riesling.....yummmmmy...But lately we havent bought anything because hubby has started making his own...Made some this winter out of some grapes we planted 2 years ago that is too die for....

[Josie's Mom]

I would reccommmend Reunite- Lambrusco.

It's a sparkling wine. It has a wine flavor plus it's sweet and very delicious. Best way I can describe it is, almost like a alcholic grape juice with fizz.

Here's a link of what the bottle looks like:

I've bought it at grocery stores, drug stores and I belive Walmart too. It's between 6-8 dollars.

If your not huge on wine, you are going to love this one.

My fiance isnt a big wine person so I need something more juice-tasting. (When I say that...I have had some wine that tastes like apple juice or grape juice with a lil fizz to it and I have had some that tastes like vinegar..not sure if it was wine or champagne tho. Lol)
Thanks in advance for all suggestions!!

OMG we are so not wine drinkers but we went to a wine tasting this summer with some friends. Of course the best wines we loved were the desert wines...lol. But here are a few that we found that we liked. Very nice and sweet stuff...not excessively sweet. If your honey likes the sweet and not dry stuff then this works well:

These three were my favoriets from them:

Vidal Ice Wine
Windmill Blush
Aprhrodite

I know it's sold in local liquor stores.

I love Asti Spumante. It's like champagne, but sweeter

For Red, I love anything 2004. That was a great year for some reason

However, it's not my FAVORITE wine, LOL. Very good but I have other favorites.

Most of the Zinfandels these days are too "hot" or spicy (which I love) and for someone who's not used to drinking wine it might be too much. I'd stick to a cabernet or a syrah, or a petite sirah if you want red. If you could find an Altamura Sangiovese, that would be great too; it runs about $25 a bottle here in CA.

If you want white, I'd try a Sauvignon Blanc or Fume Blanc . If you want something sweet, try a Riesling (if you have a Trader Joe's, they usually carry one by Trimbach that's EXCELLENT) (and that's Riesling, not Dry Riesling).

Me too! I love a good German Reisling!

Also, you should try any kind of 'rose'. It's tinted pink in color and is sweet and light. My kinda drink!

I like the Stone Hill wines. My favorite is their Concord.

[reeses]

Wow! So many different kinds!! This is gonna be hard. Lol. I wish I knew somewhere close by that had wine tastings. There is a world market near me surprisingly...I have never heard of it before and so outta curiosity went in and wow...they have sooo many neat things! I did notice all the different kinds of wine. I wonder if they have wine tastings. Hmm...if not...I guess I should start eating Olive Garden alot more often to try their different wines! Lol.

I only have found 1 wine that I like and it's called Moscato D'asti
