Wine preference?

(1/2) > >>

Brown Eyes:


I'm a big wine lover and am curious to know folks' preferences.  I actually tend to prefer white wine over red.  And, it might be fun to exchange recommendations for good wine here too.

I realize I left off a huge list of French regional wines from this poll (but, hey, there's really only so much room here).  It would be interesting to hear how people feel about different regional wines too.  I love Australian wine and French wine.  I'm not usually such a fan of Italian wines, etc.  It's a pretty interesting topic actually.

So, can't wait to hear what all you aficionados out there have to say!

Great idea for a thread, Amanda. I LOVE red wine, specifically Merlot, and usually have a couple of glasses most nights, with my dinner. It makes even the most mundane of  mid-week meals just that little bit special.

I'm not keen on white wine and can't abide bubbles in my wine haha!  ;)  :)

My preferences come and go. At the moment, I have two fine Australian Merlots in the pantry and can recommend them to anyone wanting to try a good Aussie Red.  :D

They are Wolf Blass Merlot

Another great thread, Amanda!

Thanks for the recommendations, Kerry!  Merlot is my husband's favorite, too, and consequently I've come to like it, although I probably prefer white wine as a rule.

I  don't think I know enough about wines to be an aficionado, but I agree that a glass of wine can add a bit of "special" to a meal - and it can be great to sip while curled up with a good book.   :)

I especially like Albariño, a white wine made in Galicia (northwestern Spain)

Brown Eyes:

I think Spanish wine in general is great!  It's usually very consistently good... much like Australian wine.  There must be something about the climate, etc. in those two regions that makes for great wine.

I love French wine, but I think it's far less consistent and harder to figure out since there are so many French-regional varieties.  It looks like Pinot Noir is a popular one here so far... and, for folks who like Pinot Noir, I'd recommend Côtes du Rhône too.  Like Pinot Noir, it's a very light red wine that can be paired with lots of different types of food... even food that would normally be white wine food.
