Favorite Wines

This is an interesting post because I was just in the liquor store on Tuesday buying wine (santa margherita pinot grigio) my standard and I'm totally bored with it. So I picked up a Chenin Blanc. I loved it, so light and crisp. I think I found my new fav wine.

But this post is great for suggestions. The wine dept at the store can be very intimidating if you have zero knowledge about wine.

I love wine! How is your new wine job going by the way??

Anyways my fave wine is White Merlot. I can't find it everywhere though - but it is so awesome (I like the sweet ones though) It's not dry at all - I don't like dry either! AND when FI and I first met he bought me a bottle for my birthday - along w/ a new corkscrew and some wine glasses - so now we call it "our" wine! LOL!

My favorite wine is Kendall Jackson Chardonnay it is so good...I need to try some of these wines you ladies have mention to add more to my collection...this is a great thread.

red gives me headaches, so i only drink white in bulk

like jaime, i like anything australian or new zealand. my favorite cheap wine is monkey bay sauvignon blanc - i think the chardonnay is icky tho. we rarely buy a bottle that's more than $14.99, so keep those cheap choices coming!

So I was just in the bathroom cleaning off labels of our wine that we bought so we could bottle our new wine we just made tonight. So I wrote down the few we liked.

Rojo Granrojo Tempranilo 2005 (I have no idea what that means) it was 10 bucks

Recanati Merlot (Not sure on price)

Premius Bordeaux Merlot Cabernet 2005 and it was under 10 dollars

Trinchero Family Merlot 2005 (Not sure on price)

Barefoot Chardonnay was under 10 dollars but we used it to cook some fish and it was YUMMY!

and we liked the Korbel Champagne!

I love Riesling. My favorite is by Schmitt Sohne. The bottle is blue and it says Relax down the side... perfect after a long day! Also, Chateau St. Michelle (sp?) makes a good one.
