Well, since there were a few people in here who are not beer drinkers, and they said they like wine instead, it's your turn....what wine(s) do you like to drink and why? Or does it depend on your mood, or what you eat, etc. like it does me?

Some of my faves are: Muller-Thurgau, a nice dry Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, some blushes that aren't too sweet and then, when I want reds, Chianti (especially when I eat Italian food), Merlot, Beaujoulais, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon. I like some sparkling wines, as well ( technically, you are not supposed to call them "champagne" unless they come from that region of France). Some of my fave sparklings are: Laurel Ridge and Argyle, out of Oregon here and Perrier Jouriout ( I know I'm not spelling that right) out of France, when I can afford it, which is not often, unless Costco gets some and it's a steal, same thing with Dom Perignon!

So, who's next?

Thunderbird, Ripple, South Pacific, Bali Hai, Rythm, Mad Dog 20/20.

I think I'd better stick to my "Bud Lite" and let it go at that.

Well, white ones were my favorites (Gallo's White Grenache) untill i tried a red one from Spain Called "Matarromera". It's a good sweet dry wine with great taste. Also "Viña Mayor" is very good.

After leaving a large puddle of Bali-Hi in my neighbor's driveway at age 16, I swore off wine forever-(although not beer.)I haven't had wine 4 times since then that I can think of, and then only to be socially polite. (I did however recently try an apple beer called "K" that was similar to a wine, more of a sweet beer I guess. Not bad either, but I'll stick with Coors or Michs.)
So, if I ever need a mental image of a young dufus trying to impress a girl, that is one of several that pop up.........oddly, I don't remember her name, just the wine's!
HA!

Bassix that is so funny! Sounds as if your dislike for wine is just about as bad as mine for vodka is! Tell ya what, kiddo, you don't pass me no vodka and I will pass you no wine, how's that for a deal?

I like Blushes best Reds comes next and I usually pass on the White wines. I prefer a good Chianti or a nice Sangria.

I am a light weight when it comes to wines. I have always prefered the sweet wines as opposed to the what america calls dry. Therefore I lean more toward the German varietals. I have enjoyed several good Merlots but not the Cabs. Give me a good Spaetlese Reisling. I have a great bottle from Chateau Yaldara, Adelaide Australia (they are actually old german vines and have been established for over 100 years). I picked it up on a trip last fall and do not want to drink the last bottle. I love Austalian wines and had a royal blast on the wine tours. I love those samples(hick up)and I will try anything (even a Cab) on a wine tour.

Hey Cindy: I'm with you on the German/Alsace wine thing. I love Gewurtztraminer/

rachel.

Then you guys would like the German varietal called Muller Thurgau, it's a white German wine that is sweet but dry. It's almost like biting into a super fresh batch of those nice green grapes! Wonderful stuff with a nice punch to it! Whew!
