Favorite wine, champagne, or asti
What is your favorite wine, champagne, or asti?
My favorite light wine is defintely Bella Rosa sparkling red. 
My favorite heavy is a nice Lindeman 2001 reserve Shiraz.
My favorite champagne is actually not champagne at all; I adore Spinelli Asti Spumante.

I dont really have particular brands, but i rather enjoy muscadines, rieslings, chardonnays, merlots, and specialty wines only sold at wineries.
There are so many i have yet to taste still though, but I will say White Zinfindel is gay!

I only drink white wine as red makes me sick.
I drink Chateau Ste. Michelle. Its a Johannisberg Riesling.
Its pretty good with fish, which is when I usually drink wine.

Sunset Blush or Cabernet Sauvingon is always a favorite. I also like Riunitie Lambrusco!!!! Yummy!
I love Asti Spumante - I drank a whole bottle and a half on my own for New Years when I was in Texas...then I moved onto the hard stuff! SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!

Franzia: One box will get at least 5 people drunk and it's only about 7 bucks.

Chateau Ste. Michelle actually makes solid midrange wines in every white catagory; their Chardonnay is particularly well rated.
As per their Jo Riesling, have you tried the Eroica? Supposedly excellent, but I can't get it in stock . . .

I have tried the chardonnay. It was good, but still will drink the riesling if I have a choice between the two. I have found that its 50/50 as for restauraunts having a riesling, much less CSM. If I cant get that I usually go for a Gewurztraminer or a Piesporter. Of those two, I am not particularly vinyard loyal.
I have heard of the Eroica and its reputation. Would like to try it, but wont drive cross country to try it. If I come across it, I'll go for it.
But I aint that high-brow; I'll take a Keystone anyday. Also, most of the wines I drink are under $12 bucks a bottle. (not that price necessarily equates to quality) Secondly, I have tasted and actually like moonshine. lol.

My personal favorite is Pinotage. It's only made in South Africa. I tried to form a wine club in Buffalo State, but the admin shut us down. We still had one, but it would have been cool to be funded by the USG.
If your interested which pinotage to get, here are my suggestions for 2002:
Stark Pinotage 2002
Sentinel Reserve Pinotage 2002
Rawsons Pinotage 2002
Groene Cloof Pinotage 2002
Diemersfontein Pinotage 2002
Diemersfontein Carpe Diem Pinotage 2002
Bon Cap Organic Pinotage 2002
Beyerskloof Pinotage 2002

Something about red wine just makes me want to gag. I think it's all those years going to Catholic mass drinking the wine out of that communal cup.  I'll only drink reds while downing a fat juicy steak.
My favorite wine has to either be the DeLoach Pinot Gris or their Chardonnay. But then I also like Trefethen Chardonnay and the Australian Rosemont Riesling.
As far as the bubblies go, sure, I'd like to drink Dom Perignon more often...but realistically speaking, Vueve Clicquot is friendlier to the wallet and tastes great too.
And that is why I always look forward to our annual alumnae fundraiser...The Grape Escape.  Last March no one wanted to drink the French wines because of political reasons. Oh well it didn't matter...I ended up taking home a few bottles anyway.

It's cliche, but for a very good reason: Martini & Rossi's Asti Spumante!

I prefer red wines to white. Most American chardonnays make me gag (too sweet).
Favorite winery: Rodney Strong. Someone recommended their cabernet to me a long time ago. All their wines that I've tried are wonderful - they make the only American chardonnay that I will drink.
As for the bubbly, it's all about Veuve Clicquot
