what a shame, bro ! I drink red wine like there's no tomorrow :P !


Napa puts out some awesome wines! I'll have to try rabbit ridge, wong. I like some of the Australian wines too...Barefoot and Black Opal come to mind.

I mostly buy whatever's cheap at Trader Joes. I trust their picks .

Amen to that

Cheap bottles of Chilean and Argentinian wine can also be found at TJ's. Good stuff, too B) I'm all about the $2.99 a bottle

I'm enjoying a bottle of Barefoot as I type now. I made a mistake in the previous post. Barefoot is from Cali and not from Australia.
Good Merlot, but I like carbernet sauvignons much better

Something about the cold white wines just don't do it for me. but, one definitely wouldn't have to twist my arm to drink it

I'm a white wine fan, but I'm pretty pick about red wine. I won't drink the cheap stuff... I drank a whole bottle once of the turning leaf red wine and announced to all that it tasted like "chewed pencils". I did have some good red wine another time... Yellow Tail I think was the brand. It was a gift from someone. Liked it so much I had the whole bottle!

Oh how I love the red!!! Yummy. I love anything thick and red, especially shiraz, cabernet, etc.

I did go overboard once when I drank a whole bottle of shiraz to myself one Halloween. (I know that doesn't sound like a lot to some of you, but I'm a lightweight and that's allotta drink.) I spent the whole night at this club, dressed as Yoko Ono, being tripped by my friend who was dressed as Charlie Chaplin (he thought it was hilarious; part of his act).

I would lay on the dance floor trying to push my giant mess of wig out of the way so I could stand up. Thankfully a guy dressed as an outhouse kept helping me up. Thank god for bathrooms.

I like white wines. I tried wild horse few days back. The taste was good. It ends with a nice clean finish and good length.. The taste of lime and apples compliments the taste well.

I like both red and white wine, so I am an experienced drinker!
