| Alright, what is everyone's favorite wine? My boyfriend and I LOVE wine. We are fairly indiscriminate, but do enjoy the finer wines I'd love to get some recommendations from hearing YOUR favorite wines! We recently went wine tasting and I loved the Turnmill Reserve wines YUM!

| Duckhorn Cabernet Sauvignon is my absolute favorite and Frog's Leap is good, as well. Surprisingly enough, Illinois has quite the booming wine industry that I've only recently become aware of in recent years. My most favorite Illinois (and inexpensive) wine is August Hill's Almond Infusion. I've actually never had an August Hill wine I didn't like, though. Illinois Cellars also makes very drinkable wines, with my favorite being Velvet Red.

| I love a semi-sweet riesling. 2007 JJ Prum's Riesling Kabinett is my current favorite. For local wines, I really like Michigan's Black Star winery. Their late harvest riesling and their chardonnay are excellent. Michigan's Chateau Fontaine also has a nice chardonnay. On a personal note, by back yard is a few acres big, but narrow & deep, so not really usable..but it is full south-facing...perfect for grape growing...so I often dream of filling it full of grapevines

| I like the kind that tastes like rum. Seriously though, I don't know a lot about wines and would like to learn. Apparently Lisa says malbec is the way to go. |

| I tend to go for Cabs and Zins. I gravitate toward reds. I never did taste a white I could drink a glass (or bottle...) of. haha I live in California and I never really gave thought to vineyards on the east coast. Wow! That must be interesting with the weather :-)

| That's a pretty robust wine for a wine newbie! But...I've seen your posts on food threads, so I'm sure your palate is up to it

| I've never heard of this. Is it a local winery? Or above my price-range so I've not come across it? lol I typically won't spend over $50 for a bottle, unless someone really highly recommends a specific vintage/label. I've been too often disappointed with expensive wines...on other people's tabs to justify the extravagance myself.

No Longer a Member | Pretty much any wine I love, lol. I fell in love with a red from Spain, its called the Conquistador, I only have 6 bottles left and I don't know if I'll be able to get it here in the states. So I'll need to get with the East Coast wine scene. |

| We have a local red from Nissley that is served warm. I really like it, but it's seasonal. It's soon about time for a bottle!

YT 1000 Club Member | I live in NY but order my wines from V Sattui winery (Napa Valley). Their wines are not available in stores -- direct purchase only -- so I order several cases a year. I like sweet wines and love Sattui's Muscat. The Madeira is excellent and the limit is 6 btls per order.

| I so wish I could acquire a taste for wine. I keep considering going to tastings and just being open minded. I like sparkling wines. What would you recommend for a wine newbie to try as a starter wine?

| I like the Proseco wine. My cousin and I love Chianti mixed with either Coke or cream soda. When we were kids, our Grandpa would give us his homemade chianti with soda on special occasions. Brings back alot of good childhood memories. |

Or just go with Champagne . Perrier Jouet is an excellent mid-price champagne to start with and shows the basic characteristics of a good champagne.
