skybytch 273 #2 September 22, 2003 I don't drink much wine, but when I do I'm partial to California Cabernet Sauvignon's, particulary those from wineries on the Central Coast (Paso Robles, Templeton, etc). Excellent with a thick juicy steak. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vertifly 0 #10 September 22, 2003 Chianti usually. (that's a red) Preferably the ones with the rooster on the label. This just means that it's shipped from the Firenze region of Italy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stacy 0 #11 September 22, 2003 fat bastard chardonnay is GROSS. i do like ciels pinot grigio (Or something with "ciel" in the title- after a bottle of wine, who can remember?) and have taken a recent taste to a merlot/shiraz mix. but of course, who wants wine when one can drink MEAD???!!! __ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FLsurfer 0 #14 September 22, 2003 I'm not much of a wine drinker but when I do partake, it's always a Rioja. Marques de Caceres and Marques de Riscal are two labels that come to mind. Everytime that I've brought a bottle or two to a social event, everyone asks about it and where to buy. Problems just be opportunities in der workin' clothes.

mailin 0 #15 September 22, 2003 ah yes... I'm super partial to Italian and now Australian reds. Chianti is a personal favorite, and like someone send you would need to get the ones with the rooster on the label as that would mean 'chianti country' - and vintage year 1997, by far the best year. Its a 'spicy' wine, really good with beef dishes. Shiraz is a relative new red - from Australia, and VERY good! There's a line of Australian wines that are fairly inexpensive and very good - Yellow Tail. They carry a few different reds and they are all very good in my opinion. Also a spicy wine, but no where near as 'strong' as the chianti. I prefer this with Chicken and Beef. Merlot you have to be careful with - lots of different quality differences so I try to steer clear. I've had good luck with only a few CA vineyards. Merlot is a good 'cheese' wine for the most part. And french wine - have yet to find a french red that I like; as a matter of fact they make me want to spit. LOL Good luck - but really, try the Yellow Tail - very good!

kmcguffee 0 #21 September 22, 2003 Boone's Farm is a favorite. I'm not sure if it is red or white though. A nice Barley Wine like Young's Old Nick beats a grape wine any day.
