Red or White?

[Guru]

Red or white, or do you prefer that pink crap?

Me, I'm partial to a nice, dark, rich Cabernet. (I'd like a nice dark, rich woman, too!)

Discuss.

White is definitely my choice...but a nice blush, or that "pink" crap, is sweet too. White Zinfandel is my favorite

We get Aussie wine here, but I'm afraid it's the cheap stuff. Still, I buy it frequently.

Oh Guru, are you a wine snob??????

I said I like the cheap Aussie wine. I bet they keep the good stuff for themselves.

One of my pleasures is looking for really good, inexpensive wines. There are a great number of really good wines available for under $10 per bottle.

Some Oz wines are really nice.

Have you tried Long Flat Red?

I'm just up the coast from you and it's easily found here.Edited to say and it's under $12.00

Long Flat Red... Haven't seen it. We are in an Oenophilic Decay Zone here, sadly.

Australian Table Wines

A lot of people in this country pooh-pooh Australian table wines. This is a pity, as many fine Australian wines appeal not only to the Australian palate, but also to the cognoscenti of Great Britain.

"Black Stump Bordeaux" is rightly praised as a peppermint-flavoured Burgundy, whilst a good "Sydney Syrup" can rank with any of the world's best sugary wines.

"Chateau Bleu" too, has won many prizes; not least for its taste, and its lingering afterburn.

"Old Smokey, 1968" has been compared favourably to a Welsh claret, whilst the Australian Wino Society thoroughly recommends a 1970 "Coq du Rod Laver", which believe me has a kick on it like a mule; eight bottles of this and you're really finished. At the opening of the Sydney Bridge Club, they were fishing them out of the main sewers every half an hour.

Of the sparkling wines, the most famous is "Perth Pink". This is a bottle with a message in, and the message is BEWARE!. This is not a wine for drinking; this is a wine for laying down and avoiding.

Another good fighting wine is "Melbourne Old-and-Yellow", which is particularly heavy, and should be used only for hand-to-hand combat.

Quite the reverse is true of "Chateau Chunder", which is an Appalachian controle, specially grown for those keen on regurgitation; a fine wine which really opens up the sluices at both ends.

Real emetic fans will also go for a "Hobart Muddy", and a prize-winning "Cuiver Reserve Chateau Bottled Nuit San Wogga Wogga", which has a bouquet like an Aborigine's armpit.

RED!

Portoguese or Spanish Rioja preferably.

A nice Burgundy or Chianti is not to deny either.

Didn't you just jab me for cut-n-paste?

Good call...

I used to be a regular merlot devotee, but my current fave is Forest Glen White Merlot. It's a definite merlot, but it's actually a white, so it's fruity as well. It sounds like a Frankenstein of a wine, I know, but I love it.

Then again, I don't know a good wine from a bottle of plunk.

And it's pink, so I guess that puts me in the creampuff category of wine drinkers. Oh, the shame!
