well- it is still pretty much hot here again after our cold front that lastest 3 days and dropped to a chilly 60 degrees for a low..
As far as wines- I like red wines all year long. I do not like super dry wines.
I am not too picky about the brands- I just like to try new ones.

Rosemount Estate Shiraz or Merlot.

Sometimes Wyndham Estate Shiraz if I have the money. So in fact, never.

Merlot
White Merlot
and of course my staple all year round...Crown Royal.

ok....I'll try to find a nice Port. thanks

You change your wine seasonally?

My favorite wines are Oregon Pinot Noirs. I had some good ones from Anderson Valley in CA when I was down there recently, too.

And I like Syrah a whole lot.

And Bordeaux.

Imma go have me a glass of Pinot right now, thanks for the suggestion.

Yeah, when I want sweet wine I drink Port or Riesling.

You can also get plum and berry wines, sometimes blended with red (grape) wine, that is sweet, but not as sweet as Port. Nehalem Bay makes a plum wine that is moderately sweet. It's very nice.

Icewine is another sweet/dessert wine, though I've never seen a red for some reason.

Worst wine ever is Thai rice wine - costs about 25 baht (60 cents) for a three or four hundred ml bottle and is about 25-30% alc. vol.

Tastes evil, oddly sweet, and you have to mix it with water. Truly evil stuff

IrresistibleB1tch said:

I make my own.

CarrieMpls said:

really? care to share the recipe?

IrresistibleB1tch said:

Nope! I'm the same. I like white in summer and red in fall and winter.

CarrieMpls said:

whew - i was getting worried.

IrresistibleB1tch said:

When I figure out what it is, I'll tell you. I just kind of throw things in and hope for the best. I always get compliments, though.

I usually use cinnamon, cloves, all spice and sugar. Sometimes other stuff.

CarrieMpls said:

cool - i don't have the balls to play it by ear, at least not with wine. i can cook like that just fine, but i'm scurred to mess up a perfectly good bottle of wine

Chianti from Casa Emma

Migrain trigger

Mach said:

i will!

IrresistibleB1tch said:

I do the same too, I tend to drink white or rose during the summer and then switch to red when it starts getting colder.

xenon said:

did someone completely skip rose this year?

FamousBluRaincoat said:

i don't do rose.

do you have a good one to recommend?

IrresistibleB1tch said:

You must try this little cocktail though for a year round red.
Half a glass of red wine poured over ice, dash of red vermouth and top off with cloudy lemonade, sounds odd but it's delicious, in fact I have a glass of it in my hand as we speak.

xenon said:

sounds great!

I LOVE Chianti as well - yummmy with Italian food
