what's your favorite kind of red wine? I was just telling my husband the same thing the other day and he looked at me like I was crazy. He had no idea that red wine is more for cooler weather and white for warmer weather. Jeez - what a guy 
I don't really have a favourite red. I enjoy most reds as long as they are dry. However, I am definitely a Chardonnay kind of gal when it comes to white wine. | |

Anything But Chardonnay. You are ALL weird. Wine should be chosen based on the food, not the season.
Is it just because most people find it more acceptable to chill white wine, and that's why it's better for warm weather. . .? 
Anyway, I'm with you on the ABC. Chardonnay has got to be my least favorite wine. oh noes, prince is gonna soo me!!1! | |

True, plus if you followed the "rules" you'd practically only drink white wine, and fuck that shit. Do you NEVER drink red in the summer? I'm still tryin' to figure this out. oh noes, prince is gonna soo me!!1! | |

IrresistibleB1tch said: xenon 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.   sounds great! Sounds a bit like sangria! I do make sangria from red in summer.  |

The first white I ever liked was a gewurtzemeiner. Or something like that. I have no idea what it's actually called, only that it had a german sounding name and it was sooooo yummy. |

IrresistibleB1tch said: FamousBluRaincoat said: did someone completely skip rose this year?
 i don't do rose.
do you have a good one to recommend? Rose to me is a true summer wine... white or red are for anytime, depending on the food. I drink pays d'ocs or riojas - just not tavel, because it's the original rose and the most famous brand... so it's production is upp'd w/ sulfites. (ouchie head for me) | |

IrresistibleB1tch said: ...what's your favorite kind of red wine?
I prefer to plump for a full-bodied 13 - 13.5% if it's not accompanied with food. If I'm having it with something like game or venison, I'll usually choose a fairly robust 12%. For pasta dishes or cheese, I've even been known to go as low as a cheeky little 11.5%! ( )
