Yep, I like those Gewertztraminer's too! But I don't drink them too often since they're so sweet. I'm diabetic and had a mini stroke in 94' so I gotta be careful with the drinking. So I have about 1-2 glasses of wine, total, per week.

For the every day cheap stuff, we drink Forest Hills Cabernet or Merlot, or occasionally Barefoot Cab. On Fri/Sat's we frequently have BV Cabernet. And if I wan't a good bottle of wine that costs more than $15, I usually go with a french wine from the Medoc region where I went when I took a tour in France. I don't drink white anymore as it doesn't work with my system now for the above reason.

I also like to go to Trader Joe's and get a wine they recommend from the Bordeaux region of France from time to time for a really cheap price!

Cheers!

For any of you who want organically produced wines, I stumbled onto a website of a California Importer that gets them from the South of France at very reasonable prices. There are also a few here in Oregon that I will have to find out which one's they are....there was something on T.V. about them the other day, but my daugther was climbing all over me and hubby had just gotten home from work in a bad mood....OY, you know the kind of day I'm talking about, ladies with hubbies So needless to say, I got maybe about a 10th of what it was saying to me at the time But the French one, yeah, just e-mail me and I'll pass that info. along if you're interested....youngun39@yahoo.com

The best part about traveling abroad is that the wines at the small boutique wineries do not contain Phosphates - NO HANG OVERS. Once they start exporting to the states they add phosphates to preserve them and ta-da hang overs. So if you know someone that travels alot have them pick up your favorite overseas and enjoy the difference.

Hmmm....that's interesting, Cindy, then why do they put phosphates in domestic wines? I guess I will have to get in touch with my local wineries here, since I live in one of Oregon's top wine producing areas right now and find out why. Makes ya wonder, huh?

ok, anita i think i'm at the right place now. that was funny. wonder if i was the first to post on the wrong topic? so i'll repeat...

prefer red wines over white wines. they're a little too bitter and dry for me. i like the chardonnay's especially and wine coolers. it's the sweet taste i like so much. but mind you, i can only handle a 1/2 glass of wine because it will just knock me right out. and i usually drink wines and coolers on special occassions. i remember at my sister's pre-wedding party, we rented a limo and there was champagne served for all the ladies and they kept telling me "finish it" "finish it" they wanted to pour me more. they had downed their 1st 2nd and some 3rd rounds while i was still trying to swallow down my 1st 1/2 glass. sorry, can't hang, otherwise i'll be hanging on to you! i wasn't about to go to sleep, i was ready to go dancing!

so linda, txjazzldy 1/2 glass with that thai!
