your favorite wines?

[tandkvd]

Welcome aetre. Well I'm no expert, I was bitten by the wine bug a little over a year ago. This is a differant question from a novice, than what we usualy see. They usualy start off with "I'm looking for a sweet wine"

But as most here will tell you, the best wines are the ones that you have tasted and liked. I don't pay attention to wine scores, however I have taken advice from the seasoned veterans here and have learned from them.
So here is my 2 cents worth.

voigner - No experance with this one.

sauvignon blanc - My favorite white wine. I like ones from New Zealand the best, Spy Valley & Kim Crawford are good, but was supprised by a Fetzer SB that I liked.

merlot - I started off with this wine for about a year before I was really searious about wine. I drank it mostly because it was the most popular. I have drank verry little since trying other wines. I was supprised by one made here in NC by Shelton Vinyards that I liked.

shiraz/syrah - These are the same, it depands on where the wine comes from as to what it is called. Austrialia has a lot of good ones. Rosemont wines are good affordable ones.

saki - No experance with this one.

pinot grigio - No experance with this one, except at a wine tasting.

pinot noir - A very good lighter red wine. I had one last week for Valintines that was great, Merry Edwards. Some good ones for less money are Pepperwood Grove & Villa Mt. Eden.

Other one that I like:

Tempernillo - A spanish wine usualy combined with othe viriatals to make a good affordable wine.

Barbera - A good wine with high acid meals such as ones with tomatoes.

And of course Cabrnet Sauvignon - Our resident CS expert can give you good selections. He is well seasoned. [img]http://wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]
