Are you more of a Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, or Shiraz? Or somewhere in between those three? I'm not a huge red wine fan, I'm more partial to white wines as long as they aren't sweet or oaky. I would have have to say I love Fat Bast.ard Shiraz and this Argentinian Cab called Navarro.

You should come to france. We have the best wines on earth. My favorite red wine is a Bordeaux. My favorite white wine is an alsacian wine, bery sweet for dessert.
But my favorite wine is definitely the &quotétillant de listel" if ever you come to france you should test it

BTW i'm legal drinking age in france ( even if it would not be the case in the states^^)

Fat Bast.ard is a french wine. I really enjoy their white wines the best. I love a good Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvigonon Blanc is great, but I prefer a good Riesling or some Clairette de Die

i usually drink some red wine at the restaurants though; except, of course, when we eat fish^^

oh BTW I never heard of the fat bast.ard before, this is what i just read about it (next part is in french, sorry i can't translate)

"Robe jaune pâle avec reflets verts et brillants

Nez très aromatique aux notes de pamplemousse et de fruits exotiques"

it sounds good
frais et vif en bouche

I've tried the Fat Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, but I didn't care for them much. I haven't tried their whites.
I love Cab. Sauv., Chianti, Pinot Noir, and certain Italian Appellations. I've started trying stuff from the states (2001 was a great year in California) but it's very hit and miss.
I haven't tried Navarro, but I do enjoy Argentinian, so maybe I'll give that a whirl.

Also, I also carry a Pinot Noir called La Creme. It is popular, but I've never tried it. But also try out some of those Ma & Pa vineyards. They can sometimes make a killer red wine.

Calm, I love a Riesling as long as it is Semi-dry. I just can't stand it if it tastes like kool-aid. I really really love this German Riesling called Polka Dot. And do you ever drink Mirassou?

Oh that reminds me! DUH! Moe, try Mirassou Pinot Noir too.

Well, I am technically not of age, but I grew up in a wine making family, so it would be silly of me to say that I have never tried it. My very favorite wine is Dry Riesling, there is nothing that quite compares to it for me. Chardonnay is good as well, and I have to say I am more a fan of whites than reds.

Carlie, we'd get along great except you enjoy Chardonnay. They all taste too oaky for me.

Depends on the Chardonnay. Some are too much for me, but the more subtle ones can be enjoyable. I actually prefer older Chardonnays as opposed to younger ones. They have a much more interesting flavor.

never seen a topic like this in the tavern before. 0.o

I've had several Le Creme, some restaurants carry it. Depending on the vintage it can be quite enjoyable. I've seen Mirassou, but never tried it, that might be fun, thanks!

Well, since we are on the gr.ape talk. I'm enjoying my favorite champagne right now. Martini & Rossi Asti Spumante. I've had Cristal, I've had Dom. They are all gross. I love me some 14 dollar bottle of bubbly!

I love spumante, it's sweet but not too sweet. You can't go wrong!
