My inlaws are comming to town. We are staying home today making sure the house is clean among other things. So I have commited myself to having a red wine day. I am feeling funky. God help me if I have time to post during this evening. Red wine always makes me say thing much clearer and without care for who is listening.

Anyone care for a glass of red wine? What's your pleasure?

best wishes

Red Bull and vodka. A recent discovery. Made my Xmas nuttier than a squirrel's dropping.

And no hangovers with it! (I just talk even more gibberish).

What kinda red?

I don't know anything about it, I just know I like to drink it. My friends and I went to Carrabba's ( ) the other night because we had a $150 gift card to burn. We ordered a bottle of Francis Coppola ( the director?) Cabernet Sauvignon. It was good. It was around $35 and I know I could get it for around $15 at Publix. I usually spend around $10 for a bottle of wine and Louis Jadot Beaujolais-Villages. Drew and I went to Sam's before xmas and got it for under $7. We still have 3 bottles left over. For xmas we got a bottle of Sterling Merlot and a bottle of MonteVina Shiraz. I like Merlot but it's a little too dry and Australian Shirazes give me nightmares! This one is from California so I'll give it a try.

So I've got 5 bottles of unopened wine. Party's at my house, BYOP...

Yep, that is Francis's label. Quite drinkable.

I'd buy it again.

I drink all kinds of reds depending upon my mood. I have paid heavily for a couple of bottles of wine before, but I don't like that. After all it is wine. I can drink a bottle in one night. We have a store down the street that has good wines from good winerys. I stay within the 10-20 ranges.

The wife and I have just really been getting "into" wines. They have some excelent informational videos out there that are quite fun to watch and very informative about the wine culture.

I tend to stay away from the heavier Reds. I like the earth ones.

I always drank reds before but in the last year I've been getting into whites more and more.
I don't know anything about wine, PS. I just know what I like when I drink it.
Oh, and I mull a mean wine once a year too. yummy hot spiced wine

Yum.

I have said it before and i will say it again 1971 Chateau Petit Villages.....OMFG

I don't know a thing about alcohol, and wine is lost on me. So much to know. I'd rather have a Diet Coke. I did learn the other day that wine is kept on its side so that the cork is kept wet, thereby creating a better seal.

I don't care what anybody says....UB40's "Red Red WIne" still rocks.

I`d have thought
That with time
Thoughts of her
Would leave my head
I was wrong
And I find
Just one thing makes me forget

Red, red wine
Stay close to me
Don`t let me be alone
It`s tearin` apart
My blue, blue heart

sorry bout your inlaws coming

I Like SYRAH's alot lately and PINOT NOIR is Really MY Favs also. Sharaz and Boujelais . I also like Merlot Cabernet Mix Very good. I'm a Wine snob gotta have Fruits and Cheese also. Ya do that for parties. Eat finger Foods only. Eat little pies. Not too much of anything. Never Eat like a PIG.....Share and DIVIDE portions with Friends.

I like Merlot or any reds that are on the sweet side more then dry. I like them earthy, nutty with a berry taste to them. We make our own wine from kits then we give the bottles out.

Some nights, like last night, I will drink a full bottle. I am feeling it this morning. But, my system feels clean and I just took that holy violet brown.

I LOVE MERLOT. But Pinot NOIR and SYRAH is MY NEW FAVS. I also LOVE MARGAUX and I do something a bit weird. I put Ice Cubes in it. I like my Red Wine COLD. Dry makes me go Poo. Too Dry.....Must use Goblets with Spiders as I do . I have Goblets that are Cool. Ya know I Dig my Gothic Stuff and Vampire Fantasy.....
