OT: What's your fancy for wine?

[Ray Crittenden]

I know this isn't a great topic for a football page, but we seem to have some sophisticates out there (myself not included) - but type of wine do you drink?

I have recently (in the last year) started drinking wine. Mainly I am doing it to lose some of the beer gut, but I have begun to enjoy it. I typically like Cabernet Sauv, Pinot Noir, or Syrah. Any suggestions on some good flavors or vineyards out there?

I will drink any white wine and be a lush at it.

I never liked red wine, and whites were too dry so I always drank Zin, until I found out it was the white trash wine. Thankfully about that time I discovered Riesling and Pinot Grigio. I usually stick with the Pinot, although now I'm in to hybrids. Pinot Chardonnay and Chardonnay Riesling.

A Red Cab is the way I go with wine.

Same here with me and the wifey. We always drank White Zin and somehow figured out it was white trash, so I went for the red wines and liked them. I do like good Chardonnay though.

I will stop on my way home and ask the owner what goes with the dinner I am cooking and will try that - she has yet to wrong me

I baretended for a long time. The big joke at a lot of bars is the guys always hit on the girls who ordered white zin. They're the easy ones.

I like almost all wine. Merlot is the only one I don't like. I'm big on german imports, particularly the Riesling's. Love wine, drink it all the time.

As with the beer thread, I do not drink wine either.

funny but I would joke to people that the Wine I had in a box was better than the bottled because it was protected from the sun and not bruised...little did I know I was telling the truth based on all the new adds

Drank Chivas for year when I smoked cigars.

Only drink Jack Daniels now, straight or on the rocks.

Here's one accurate trick regarding CA wines. Anything with a horse on the label tends to be a keeper. I have no idea why, but a wine afficiando friend from CA told me of this and I've found it to be true.
