Beringer White Merlot

Tried this for the first time tonite... WOW..did I say wow? WOW. Very nice wine! Extremely smooth, slightly sweet, very fruity, it reads that it is a light wine, but I thought it was kind-of a medium body, I REALLY REALLY liked this wine! I think I have found a new favorite for just "drinking"... LOL [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]

It is one of the better wines of that ilk.

hmmm... I'm not a rose fan, but I may have to try this one.

It's cheap enough so that if you don't like it, then it aint a big deal.. $5.99 here in Sauk City, WI.

Well, I tried it, and I must say it's not for me. I reminds me of an inexpensive white zinfandel, but not as sweet. I think most people like these wines because they taste like a fruity softdrink with some alcohol mixed in, sort of like a wine spritzer.

It's not a big deal, at $7 it's about what I expected. I can let the rest turn to vinegar and use it to keep my ac drain clean.

LOL, at least you're honest! Starting to get too sweet for me now also.. tried a merlot from Turning leaf (?) and thought that mabey I should try some different brands before I make much of a conclusion. I say this because this one tasted real "woody". Kinda like I was eating a wood crate.. But I did like the texture, and suprizingly, the tannis..

I can't take the Turning Leaf wines but suggest you try a Bogle Merlot or Columbia Crest Merlot. Both should be available in the grocery store (if groceries in your state are allowed to sell wine). You may like one of those or you can branch out and try other grape varieties. Have you found any Pinot Noir that you like?

Not yet, havent ventured that far yet..
