Okay, excuse me but Pepsi and Coke does NOT taste the same.

I like the Turning Leaf wines. I love their Merlot....

inexpensive and good... nice and wet. I also like Robert Mondavi's reds. I like a very "wet" merlot.

Right THIS moment ...

I once paid £130 for a Bottle of Wine, it came highly recommended and in my own, honest opinion, it tasted like yaks piss..............

I love Rioja, Merlot, Pinot Noir (Romanian only) or a nice Shiraz.

I prefer Wine from Chile, Romania and South Africa. The Soils and Climates add for a better taste

If I'm not mistaken; red wines from Chile have more of whatever "healthy stuff" wine contains for you.

Also a Chilean friend told me that the vineyards in Chile are so isolated that they were immune from some nasty infection that decimated all of the old-world vineyards some years ago.

(NO I have not googled that to verify its authenticity...that's what the Org os for! )

Faustino is another really good inexpensive wine. They're selling Faustino VII for €7.99 a bottle in Tesco at the moment, just bought a crate of them the other day.

Correction:

Was in Tesco yesterday (and bought another 12 bottles because...) Faustino VII is actually only €7 per bottle at the moment, with an additional 25% off if you buy 6 or more bottles. Bonus.

Guess what everybody in my house will be drinking this xmas.

'I cant make dinner i just had my nails donnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnne"

my friend turned me on to muscato as a 'sipping' wine. i've always thought of it as a dessert wine, but i had some at her july 4th bbq, and i really liked it.

i turned my mom on to trader joe's charles shaw a.k.a. 2 buck chuck. i like it for cooking, though it's not bad in a pinch to drink, either. some people don't think so.

for me, my latest go to wine is la vielle ferme, at whole foods or cost plus, for $7 - $9 depending on whether it's on sale. my oenophile friend reads wine spectator and i happened to be thumbing through it and saw that they gave this wine a high rating. for some reason, the name and label stuck in my mind and so when i saw it at the store a few years ago, i picked it up. i like red (though i recently saw that they make a white now), it goes with a lot of stuff, and it's got a screw top. sold!

I read somewhere that they conducted a blind taste test and the 'two buck chuck' actually got favorable results, on par with more expensive wines.

Maybe if you don't KNOW that you're drinking cheap wine...???

you guys all of y´all kinda expanded my horizon when it comes to wine

thanks folks

from now on I´ll try better stuff for a change ha ha

That Faustino wine ....is there some sort of David Faustino connection ? Is? he? in the wine business? now?

Dude was kinda aight in the 90s but kinda disappeared .

I bet he invested all that Al Bundy money in some vineyards. Kinda like Fiddy and Vitamin Water

So he got like seven different wines now? VII is seven, right?

Thats a good one...

This is my fave, Usually around 10.99 a bottle, but goes on sale for 8.99 occasionally and i buy a few to last until next sale.. I normally only drink Pinot Noirs...
