Wine choice - dinner or not.

1. I like odd varietals like Cab Franc and Mourvedre.

Both are grapes usually employed in blends.

[HopeHoops]

2. I only had ten choices. I haven't tried either of those but will look for them now.

Wine is good. I like wine. I like fruit. I like cheese. A large cutting board with cheese slices/wedges on one side and fruit on the other is a nice compliment to a bottle of wine and some candles, and well, yes - nookie.

17. I have had some good Meritage wines

I like reds, but am not partial to any particular variety. But, I do enjoy trying the less common varietals, too, like Malbec, Grenache, Meritage--when I can find them at an affordable price.

3. A bottle of red that costs at least $15 + cheese and bread = supper.

And then sex.

[HopeHoops]

5. Or sex first and then the wine, cheese, and bread for breakfast (because you'll pass out).

We have a small fridge in the bedroom. I highly recommend it.

4. I like cabs, merlot and shiraz (and some blends) for regular fall evenings

as for whites - real Riesling FROM the Rheingau - yum - I had the chance to get spoiled there and don't really care for American versions


Chardonnay smells and tastes like cat pee

[HopeHoops]

7. Kendall Jackson Vintner's Reserve is rather fine, but otherwise I'll agree with you.

That's the only Chardonnay I actually like. Their merlot is pretty damn good too, but don't serve it chilled.

6. Malbec

It's hard to find one that isn't undrinkable.

[Kali]

8. oh yeah

malbec too

[ohiosmith]

9. Port w/cheese followed by more port w/cigar.

:hi:

[Callalily]

10. A nice merlot and

some dark chocolate would go just fine right now! ;-)

[Monique1]

11. I only drink Pinot Grigio

It is a dry white wine. I'm fussy with Pinot Grigio though - I have thrown many wines away because they are too sweet.

12. "Why have a Merlot when you can call a Cab?!"

Frasier.

[underseasurveyor]

13. Where's 'Other"

I much prefer a nice Bordeaux.

[Yeshuah Ben Joseph]

14. Other.

My own private label....

[applegrove]

15. I love Merlot. I remember how insulted I was when the two male characters

in "Sideways" insulted girls who like Merlot. LOL!

[Auggie]

16. Anything, anytime -- with or without dinner...

though keep in mind most wine is better when paired with food.

[Curmudgeoness]

18. Other. Shiraz. nt

20. The way that's worded... I thought that once you were drinking wine...
