Wine - love it or hate it?

[Goldie Munro]

I love wine - most kinds white or red - as you can tell I am not a connouisseur - but I have just opened a bottle of Reynac and it is vile!!

I loved the film Sideways by the way!

What are your wine loves or dislikes?

I feel bad. I was relatively new to the wine scene then and don't remember the names. The town was Aviano and everywhere we went the wine was incredible. I could've had it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Hey we all like different things! Took me a long time even to appreciate a semi good wine - I have a friend who was a vintner and I have tried a few! - some of the 'good' (read expensive!) wines I hate!

LOVE RED, but sensative to the tannins. Italians are great fahionistas, but HORRID wine makers.

WEll might have to agree and disagree with you there!

No clue to your wine likings!

Wine is most delicious when drunk from the belly-button of a sexy lover.

i might have to revise my view point on wine.

Now we are getting somewhere! Even what I am drinking would taste sweet from there!

 

[lucky-E-leven]

I love the smell of a good Merlot or Sauvignon ... the taste can be fantastic, but the feel of having it licked from your body is amazing.

Well you don't have to drink (lick?) it - just pour it!

I really do like a tanin-heavy claret with roast beef, but with a vegetarian in the house, that's very rare...

However, "Wine in the country where the grape is grown" as Shirley Valentine (Willy Russell) says, is PDG - simple 'Chateau Plastique' (vin de pays), warmed in the sand while you bask on the beach, with fresh bread, tomatoes, olives and cheese, is food and drink for the gods! It's worked for me in France, Spain (inc the Canaries), Italy ... everywhere I've been. It'd probably work in California or Oz as well!

Dry white is good too, but needs a fridge - rare on most beaches...

i have no problem being a vessle for wine.
somehow have a problem seeing myself as the holy grail is all. *grin*

IWhat are your wine loves or dislikes?

I'm not a fan. I guess I just can't find anything sweet enough. I like alcohol that doesn't taste like alcohol.

There are loads of sweet wines - not my favourite - but some dessert wines are yummy!

Duplin's Hatteras red....

Inexpensive, made from muscadine grapes, but absolutely lovely as a sit down and drink with friends drink... however, because of the extremely high sugar content, it hits you all at once about three glasses in and you are toasted... but the hangover quotient is nearly nonexistent.
