What wine?

[GNEP]

Well? New world? Old world? Red? White? Grape?

Personally, I am a great fan of rich red cab/merlots; and a nice pouilly fume is fantastic on a warm afternoon No expert though.

Or beer? (Somehow here I suspect this one...)

Corking up bottles is fun
I used to do this all the time I grew up and I usually smelled the wine
I don’t like the stuff at all, but I’m pretty good at telling wich kind of wine and if it tastes good (according to others I as said don’t drink the sour stuff)….

Give a try to a nice Australian Sheraz.
Yellow Tail would be a good start.
Just had a glass.

PS They make wonderful Merlot and Chardony too.

Personaly I'm an all round lover of anything alchaholic for the purpose of the wine/beer itself, In other words I actually do appreciate the taste, and the process that was used to produce 'x' vintage. We wern't brought up to drink to get drunk in my house, if you know what I mean. So personally I enjoy a nice rich robust Red, but also a nice sweet light white can be good at times. But one can't forget the ports or the sheries out there either. Beer is great too personaly I prefet dark foreign (ie European) for drinking, but also cooking. Often times all forms of alchahol have some good qulaity even if it is just it's alchahol content for flaming say banannas foster...so...that's my babble on the subject.

I love Ice Wine, that's the only wine I can drink without making a funny face. And it's oh so tasty.

White or red, according to the meal. Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Blanc etc. I like some of our local Michigan wines and the Californias, but it looks like California is going to be bad for a year or two so later on I'll have to pass on some of them.

Of course a great French, German or Italian is nice

Brandy on a cold night isn't too bad either.....

'Course the wife gets annoyed when I pour myself a nice snifterfull, darken the lights in the living room, and blast Steve Perry.

('Course I just do it to annoy her...)

AND I SHOULDA BEEN GONE!

Amen to that.
Try Portuguise wines, you'll be surprised how good they are, and while you're at it, try a good Porto...

I like red-wine
The Spanish Rioja wines are very good....

I brew my own. Well almost on my own, been doing it with my father for the past 20 years. And I must say we make a beautiful tasting red and a fine white wine, not too strong like a lot of home brews but good enough that you can drink a bottle of wine at dinner and feel happy about it afterwards. We use the Malagra and Barbera grapes, and we start from scratch. We crush them, press them and let them fermet. The process starts in September and usually its ready by Christmas.
If I ever have to buy a bottle I found a nice little diamond in a wine from Hungary called St. Stephan's Crown, but get the Sauvingnon it's dark and heavy like other Merlots. It's Merlot is a very very dark red wine. Only great for these cold Canadian winters nights in front of a fireplace.

Agree with the Rioja - I have been through a phase of picking them recently

I have actually formed a "Theory of Travel" based on wine: go wherever the wine grows - the climate will be good, and so will the evenings... so far it has taken me to France, Italy, Spain, Germany, South Africa and Chile - the fiance has just been in Oz and NZ, so the next one will have to be California I guess...
