Note to self...
 

Remind me not to drink wine with most GCers! LOL

(Raggedy Ann is an exception -- Cakebread is VERY good!)

Ackk! ptuiii!!! It was cherished by half the University of Arkansas campus back in the day!

I think Boones Farm is a rite of passage for any/everyone!

What about 2 Buck Chuck? Talk about a hangover!

I wont even lie, I thouroughly enjoy me some arbor mist at times. By the pool on a hot day is just fine :)

Rodney Strong and I didn't make NutBrnHair's cut. *pout*

I'll agree with you. Unfortunately wine is off limits for me due to migraines right not :( When I do get to drink, I LOVE Syrah, Pinot Noir, Reisling, Champagne and good desert wines. One of my favorite bottles, we discovered for my husband's birthday one year, is called Torbreck "Woodcutter's" Shiraz for about $25.

Menage a trois red wine is very good in my opinion and only $10 I think

Soh, so no love for Sutter Home? :)

I like riesling too. I'm not much of a red drinker, usually a fruitier one. I typically drink red for sangria.

I usually buy Yellowtail, but that's not an expert purchase.

I'm in your time basically and I like both. My roommate just bought me two bottles of Arbor Mist for Christmas and 1.5 left that people have given me just because they know it's my thing.

Seriously, I'm that girl that will just bring her own bottle and drink it all night. Oh well. :rolleyes:

BUT I also appreciate real wine too (hospitality student -I'm slated for a for-credit wine appreciation class next fall) except that I'm in college and can't afford to spend money on expensive alcohol *unfortunately*

When I lived in California my roommates and I would get hammered on Sutter Home on summer nights on the porch, and -wait for it- Sutter Home White Zinfandel... :o



I also really like Hamilton Russel wines, they're from South Africa and their Cab is very refined. That's the wine I give to my graduating friends.

Rodney Strong? You're in, aephi alum! :)

Fish Eye
Barefoot
The Hundred Shiraz

all reasonably if not under-priced. a lot of aussie wines are good and inexpensive.

Recommending wines is tough, because only the ones with large distribution will be available all over the country. Most wines are regional.

These days, almost all the wine I drink is from Washington. With about 600 wineries in this state now, there's not even enough time to get around to all of them. Chateau Ste. Michelle is our biggest and oldest winery, but we have many that produce 90+ points wines.

My "go-to" wines right now are the Ethos Merlot by Chateau Ste. Michelle and any red wine by K Vintners/Magnificent Wine Company (particularlly the K Syrah and House Wine). I also like Rhone (French) wines, because they feature a lot of Grenache, which is one of my favorite varietals right now.

I don't like sweet wines, so I'm not a good judge of those.
