Haha. I think my husband will disagree. I don't drink, but he does enjoy a nice pino grigio, or a nice pino noir as well.
Favorite Wine?
I love pinot noir...it is so good, I can't get enough of it. What is your favorite wine?
FYI, white wine is a disgrace to wine everywhere.

For reds, I like a good pinot noir or a shiraz. Some of the zinfandels (not white zins, but true zins) are pretty good also. For whites, I like good oaky chardonnays and light, fruity pinots. Good French roses are nice, too--especially in the summer. I'm kind of a wine snob. For my law school graduation present this may, my husband is taking me to CA's wine country.

I wholeheartedly concur.Originally Posted by shannon1976
I hate beer however. Every beer I have tasted is vile.
Yes, I'm a huge fan of pinot noir. I really like Estancia Pinot Noir (although I admit that I don't know what it's filtering process is). It's smooth and without bite and has a deep berry flavor that's perfect with... well... just about anything. It's one of those wines that I keep around my house all the time for cooking and sipping. So good.
I also really enjoy zinfendel (not white zinfendel

i'm a big fan of wine...although i'm definitely not a wine snob.
my favorite is red...shiraz, pinot noir, cabernet, merlot, syrah...i like them all. some brands have mixes of two of the above, which are usually pretty good.
i also recently discovered beaujolais, which is a nice, light red wine.
i don't drink much white wine...although moscato is good if i'm in the mood for something sweet. and this past summer, i was at a winery in southern illinois that makes all their wine from apples. they make a kind called orchard spice, which tastes like apple cider with a kick. it's sooo good.
and sparkling wine like spumante is delicious...that might fall more in the champagne category though.
it's funny, because i used to love, love, love white zin and anything blush when i was in college, but now that's the last type of wine i would choose. i think your taste buds eventually graduate like they do with many other food and drink items...
ok, i feel i've gone on too long...i'm really only a borderline alcy.

And don't forget that the only champagne is real French champagne, made in the Champagne region of France. Everything else is sparkling wine, although some cavas are pretty close to true champagne, largely because they, like real champagne, ferment in the bottle. Most other sparkling wines are artificially carbonated.

I love beaujolais--especially the beaujolais nouveau when it hits stores in the fall! It's so light--you can drink it with almost anything!Originally Posted by tricia soup
