CHEAP AND CHEERFUL- ROSEMOUNT CABERNET SHIRAZ

I ALSO LIKE SANCERRE

THERE IS A CHEAP SWEET REISLING CALLED BLOOM WITH A PINK CAP- ITS DECENT

IM SO POOR WITH THE HOUSE WE ONLY BUY CHEAPO WINE NOW

HOWEVER I STILL BUY WINE- ITS A NECESSITY!

My latest one is Luna Di Luna - the pinot grigio chardonnay mix.

Try it!

I really like sweet whites, my favorite is Reisling. I usually only drink on the weekends.

I must confess, I do like white zin

My absolute favorite I only had once in a restaurant and haven't been able to find seen, called Sylvaner (SP?).

Bertani Due Uve
it is a mix of pinot girgio and sauvignon blanc -delicious and not too expensive

Me too. I never used to like wine, but my college roommates introduced me to Riesling after they learned about different types of wine in their intro to wines class. I finally found a wine I liked.

I love Mondovi Fume Blanc about $25 a bottle


But also I really enjoy Toasted Head chardonnay it's around $15 a bottle but suprisingly good.

The Estancia Sauvigon Blanc is great as well as the Merlot. Couldn't believe that it's about $13!

My fav lately is Stags Leap Cabernet...that's a little more.

Always a fan of 1997 Sequoia Grove Cab...mucho dinero!

Yellow Tail Shiraz is always safe

For Reds, I prefer Chianti or Rioja

Whites, Chardonnay (but very buttery chardonnays)

I love Pino Griso. The brands I like that are inexpensive but taste really good are: Cavit, Luna DeLuna, St. Giuseppe and there is one other really good one that has a picture of a dragon fly on the front (I forget the name). They all rabge from $11.99-$17.00. If you are looking for something a little more expensive there is St. Margaritta, but I can't really tell the difference in taste. And yes, I love wine.

I've finally taken a liking to red wine (and what a liking I've taken! ). My current favorite is the Merlot-Cabernet mix from yellowtail. I'm not a big Merlot fan but this one is really full-bodied. I also like chianti a lot. If I'm going white, which I rarely do these days, I like Sauvignon Blanc, espeically any from Chile. I also like the Luna di Luna Pinot-Chardonnay mixes. And Prosecco (Italian Sparkling wine).


God I sound like a lush!

for whites i love sauvignon blancs and rieslings. Semillions and Verdelho are new to me and i like very much.

for reds i love pinot noir and beaujolais.

i worked at panama hatties for 5 years, i learned so much about wine there.

Reds:

Vino Nobile and Rosso from Montepulciano, Italy.

If you have a bunch of spare $$ and you want a REALLY good red, get a Brunello from Montelcino, Italy.

Toscanas are usually good (also called Super Tuscans)- it's a mix of Italian reds.

Pinot Noirs from Oregon are good.

Martha Clara makes a really good wine called 6025. It's about $40 a bottle, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere but at the vineyard and in restaurants.

Whites:

Soave- not terribly easy to find, but usually cheap. It's a house white in Italy and very tasty.

Other than that I usually just have Pinot Grigio when I have white.

Be careful with soaves...some are delicious...but most of the cheaper ones are very acidic.

WOW! thanks for all of these responses!! now which one to try first!!?? i think i am going to try the luna one first since a couple of people posted it........i went to 5 wineries and only liked a few. ...when i went to galluccio winery, i actually liked one called avalon and it happened to be very inexpensive--it was sooo good-i have to go back and get more!
