Re: Wine drinkers?

There's a couple others I like if I'm doing something fancy for dinner. The Marley Farms have an excellent variety... I like most of them. Yes, this family is/was related to Bob. They have wine tasing and bring in Reggae bands for the festivity. They're a really fun bunch.

I like lua de luna they mix 2 kinds of wine in one bottle.<br />Last night we were at Olive Garden last night and they were featuring a Washington state reisling that was very good Can't remeber the name of the wine but they are from Woodinville had to look since I grew up in WA. Speeking of Olive Garden I have always liked there house red Principato Roso. I am sure I slaughtered that spelling. I have also always liked eco dimani espcialy merlot. Also like the yellow tail shiraz. Ok thats all I can think of for now. I admit sometimes I get the cool looking botle and then try to remeber it if it was good.

Same as L-Time. Boones Farm with poultry/pork. Ripple with beef/veal. I don't drink MD 20/20. It's just too bright.

I like red mostly, cabernet and cianti. I also like a port wine once in awhile. I love the house wine at "the macaroni grill" <br /><br />My company has a facility in europe and I must say that since I drank a bottle of a red Bello (I think?) anything that is made here or made for usa tastes bad and gives me a head ache. Nothing like wine without the poison (preservatives) the FDA forces us to drink hear.

No BoatBouy, it goes like this: Boones Farm for the fair haired Ladies, Ripple for the Brunets and Auburn haired goddesses, which leaves the MD20/20 for those “a little on the trashy side.”

These are reds<br /><br />The spanish rioja's are good choice 2001's especially<br /><br />Mondavi Napa - it has a ripped label<br /><br />Hawks Crest from stags leap<br /><br />Firestone<br /><br />Nostrada<br /><br />Primavita grape - this is the italian cabernet<br /><br />========<br />Higher priced for when you want a fantastic bottle<br /><br />Gigondas - fantastic 15-20 bottle french wine<br />Stags leap<br /><br />Sadly drinking these wines only make you understand how much you are missing, sort of like driving a ferrari for a loaner car then going back to driving the chevy..<br /><br />One last<br /><br />Cava's - spainish champagnes - they have to call them sparkling wine because in europe they cannot call them champagnes. Very very nice espeicially with seafoods.<br /><br />Tomatolord<br /><br />---------

Re: Wine drinkers?

nothing beats MD20/20 plum on a cold night use it as a chaser and its even better.<br /> after that a bit of tickle pink or strawberry hill is acceptable at formal functions, TJ swan is reserved for special occasions.<br /> ahhh nothing like a good screw top wine<br /> you can raise the dixie cup and swish it and exclaim how good a week last weeks production was

I am fond of Achia Claus Greek dessert wine.<br /><br />There used to be a Portugese version of it but I can no longer find it.

Re: Wine drinkers?

kjiafa from denmark is probably my favorite. heavy cherry flavor and about 16%. there is a pinoit grigio blend from the winery in lakewood that i really like too, otherwise asti spumante is good in a pinch

Black Swan Chard and Merlot, any Lindeman's Bin...<br />Mumm's Cuvee Napa or Domaine Chandon (both Brut) for special...<br /><br />Lindeman's makes the only Pinot Noir I've ever seen for under 8 bucks...drinkable, but you get what you pay for.<br /><br />Barton and Gustier (sp?) Chard and Merlot when I'm not hating the French too much...<br /><br />And when the Noveau Beaujolais comes in, I'm there.<br /><br />Rabbit Ridge reds are pretty good for about 10-12 bucks.

Re: Wine drinkers?

Had a major senior moment there.I completely forgot the east block's best kept secret.Hungarian and Moldavian wines.They make a very fine Pinot gris and noir.In fact both resemble the austrian wines.
