Let's talk about wine!

i love red wine to drink

[Bubba]

I just want to drink wine and be naked all day.

This.

I love a nice bottle of Pinot Grigio... Sigolsheim was one of the nicest that I've had.

White wine pisses all over red wine.

When it comes to cheap wines, I prefer white. Red cheap wines are undrinkable.

I never really thought about this, but you might be on to something. I think it's harder to have really crappy whites, but reds are definitely worth spending a little more on. (Though expensive whites are ok, too!)

Also the price! But yes, the pretty labels have a large effect on my decision.

Same. I can't help it! I often pick on the name. I ended up really liking Cupcake and Fat Bastard though so clearly my method is superior.

Fat Bastard is a good one!

Wait, does sangria count?

You may as well ask if kool-aid counts.

I forgot to mention, the other weekend I was visiting my parents and they had just bottled up their first test batch of wine. I got to taste it! It was actually really good despite the harsh winter and the lack of age.

It's a pretty cool project - Sweden isn't what you'd call a wine country, but the soil and conditions where my parents live caught the attention of a Spanish wine mogul who is backing the initiative financially and with expert knowledge. It's pretty exciting.

I've posted this before I think in another thread for alcoholics, but:



Best tasting ever.

I've been very disappointed lately with wines made by musicians I've followed in the past. Maynard Keenan's Caduceus Cabernet, Not Impressed. Dave Matthews' Dreaming Tree Cabernet, Bleh.

Maybe I just don't like Cabernet, but no, I do like Cabernet.

Generally, I prefer whites, but I've had some fantastic reds (none of them have been Merlot, though I'll never stop looking for one)

[Pheesh]

I really enjoyed Caduceus, it was a bit hefty in price, but it tasted amazing. Best red I've had to date.

You may as well ask if kool-aid counts.

Well then wine can suck my dick.

A jewish holiday is not complete without a glass of Manischewitz. Yes it's is terrible, but that terrible taste is part of the experience and tradition.

Blueberry or Raspberry wine is the best dessert wine.

IT'S NATIONAL WINE DAY FOLKS

DRINK MOAR WINE

How to make cheap red wine drinkable: heat it up in a pan, add some honey and fruit slices, maybe some cinnamon. Enjoy!

The only good wines are the wines given to Bunny to pour down the drain, except rarely some muscadine wines.
