You're supposed to drink it with a rare steak. FAIL Also, some fancy cheese is okay to eat with the wine. Before your steak is ready. |

Go for the semi sweet or sweet dessert wines. Muscadine wine is good too. Hard to go wrong with a good Sangria. Sweet stuff is easier. IMHO - too sweet A good White Zinfandel (smooth & fruity semi-sweet) is what every woman likes - .....face it, woman + wine is why we drink it in the first place.

I don't get to drink expensive wine often but the 60-75 dollar bottles were noticeably smoother than the 15-20 dollar bottles which were smoother than the 5 - 10 dollar bottles. That's all I know. That and beaujolais nouveau tastes better two years later but that defeats the purpose of buying beaujolais nouveau.

If you look hard enough you can find some very good wine for under $35. One of the best Cabs I've ever had was a $25 bottle of Marquis Phillipe S2 that I got around four or five years ago. After I tasted it I immediately drove back to the store (that I happened to work at) to buy more and it was sold out. The other employees had bought it all. |
| I started liking sweet wines but have graduated to reds and wont even touch a white anymore. My personal favorite is a Dolcetto followed by a good Pinot Noir. Locally Redhawk wines makes my favorites but I also enjoy Eola Hills or Bethel Heights. I'm solidly convinced that Willamette Valley Oregon wines are the best of the regular Joe kind of wines on the market. Chilean arent bad if you're looking for cheap but decent. California wines just plain suck. ( grocery store variety but Barefoot Pinot Noir is one exception ) |
