Loungers: Recommend me some wine...

[bicentennial_baby]

I'm looking for Reds, I tend to like Cabernet Sauvignon and Beaujolais Nouveau...Not too pricey. :)

:hi:

[triguy46]

1. Yellow Tail. I'm drinking their Cab/Merlot blend right this moment...

Less than $15. Probably an 88. They consistently rank quite high in Wine Spectator. I also like Concha y Toros Cab 2004, about $17, from Chile.

[Barack_America]

5. I'm particularly fond of their Shiraz.

But, then again, I'm particularly fond of Shiraz.

[triguy46]

13. I have one of those on the rack as well...

My beverage purveyor is selling all varieties of Yellow Tail for $9.99, an unbeatable price for a very good group of wines.

[bicentennial_baby]

9. Excellent, thank you!

:hi:

[CL Avenger]

2. Merlot?

Have you tried Merlot?

[bicentennial_baby]

10. Actually, I haven't...

:)

[CL Avenger]

20. Try it

I hear it is really good. I am only 20. Thus, I am not old enough to drink, but I do work in the grocery business and we sell a lot of Merlot daily.....

[Xipe Totec]

30. My favorite Merlot

http://www.santaema.cl/botella_j-i.htm

Very inexpensive, surprisingly good:

Aroma : Intense and fruit-like, it reminds of red fruit, spices and some fine and elegant toast.

Flavors: On the palate, once again you can taste mature red fruits with good structure and delicious bottom, it is filling and has a pleasant persistence. Soft vanilla notes appear at the end

That's the official description.

TO me it has the flavor of fragrant Bing cherries, with a peppery after taste.

[Fox Mulder]

3. I love Red Bicyclette French Rosé wine.

http://www.redbicyclette.com/wines.asp?v=ROS

It's only $14.99 a bottle. Good stuff.

[Fran Kubelik]

4. Layer Cake Shiraz

Had it tonight with strip steaks. Fruity. Not too heavy, but substantial enough to stand up to the steak. This was the first time I had it, and while it's a little more than I spend on an everyday wine (I think I got it for around $18) I will probably get it again.

[malta blue]

21. I hear this is very good

:hi:

[Fran Kubelik]

55. Oh it is.

I'm going to go buy up some more. The reviews say it's chocolatey, but either I don't umderstand what that means, or I disagree.

[Shakespeare]

6. Define "not too pricey"

Is $10 a bottle too much? Lemme know, and I'll recommend away... :hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

7. No, not at all! I meant like under $30...

:loveya:

[Shakespeare]

34. Oh, d00d, in that case....

Any of Rosenblum's reds, especially their vineyard designates, are good & most around $20-30.

[patrick t. cakes]

8. castle rock pinot noir!

delish! and thanks i think you answered the qusetion
of my last thread


:9 :toast:

[bicentennial_baby]

11. What was the question?

:)

[patrick t. cakes]

15. cafe dilemma.

[malta blue]

12. I'm currently enjoying a 1998 Stonegate Cabernet Sauvignon

from Napa Valley...

Hard to make recs without knowing your market - there are some great wines out there for a decent price....

Look for Billi Billi out of Australia, Angus makes a great Cab also...

Mr MB (the real wine geek in the house) recommends Excelsior Cab, Terra Andina from Chile, Hayman & Hill - all of these should be less than $15. J. Lohr is good for an everyday, mass market...

[bicentennial_baby]

16. Thanks so much!

We have some pretty well stocked stores here...I'll go a hunting tomorrow. :)

:hi:

[buzzard]

14. Try this one it is quite good better than some of the more expensive ones.

Rosemount Cabernet Sauvignon
or the Cabernet Merlot is also nice.

[bicentennial_baby]

18. Thanks!

:hi:

[radfringe]

17. awwwwwwwww geeeeeeeeeeeeee

do I haaaaaaaaaaaavve tooooooooooooo?

that usually goes well with anything...

[bicentennial_baby]

19. hehe...

:spank:

[Mrs.Matcom]

22. Fire Steed/Pinot Noir

is excellent! Usually under 12 bucks a bottle. Also Il Bastardo, it is a Sangiovese, it's Italian and awesome! We will have to stock you up at our local store when we go shopping! :loveya: :hug:

[bicentennial_baby]

23. thanks sweetie!!

Yes we will!! :loveya:

:hug: I hope that you are well...

:)

[Mrs.Matcom]

26. you are more than welcome!

We drink a fair amount of reds, and have found that the medium priced wines are usually very good.

I am well, only 8 more days until Mexico...OMG I can't wait!! Oh, they have great wines too, but I have yet to see any here in the states??

:*

[bicentennial_baby]

31. I envy you...

I will think of you while I am on the windswept campus of UMB... :mad:

:rofl:

:*

[Fleshdancer]

24. Yummm.....

One of my favorites is Menage a Trois. It's very smooth with a hint of chocolate. Oddly enough I can't stand chocolate but I love this wine. Plus it's fun telling the sales guy I'm looking for a Manage a Trois. http://www.thewinebuyer.com/sku40194.html?utm_source=Shopzilla&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=FOLIE%20A%20DEUX%20MENAGE%20A%20TROIS%20RED%202006

Others might disagree, but I think Pillar Box Red is pretty damn good. It's not a box wine so don't let the name fool you. It's a very vibrant, fruity red. The flavors are not subtle...in fact it sort of explodes in your mouth. I'm not sure what you would pair it with though...it sort of stands on its own.
http://winelibrary.com/reviewwine.asp?item=8067

[bicentennial_baby]

28. Oh, I'm just looking to drink it!

:rofl: I'll deal with pairing once I get into the groove...I figure now that I'm getting old (31), I should up my drinking tastes. :P

:hi:

[Fleshdancer]

37. that's probably for the best....

there's no need for food to get in the way of a good glass (or 3) of wine! :rofl:

So my two suggestions went in two different directions. I would describe the first as liquid velvet and the second as a fruit explosion. Choose depending on your mood...when you're not out chasing car thieves and stuff. :D

[bicentennial_baby]

38. Or Jeebus Camp kiddos...

:rofl:

We got it on Netflix...The deleted scenes are... :scared:

:hi:

[Fleshdancer]

43. HAHAHA!!!

I still think your thread was ROBBED of several DUzys that night. Deleted scenes, eh? I'm scared yet intrigued damn it. :hi:

[RadiationTherapy]

25. Gnarly Head Zinfindel.

[bigwillq]

27. Arbor Mist

:P :rofl: ;) :)

[bicentennial_baby]

29. Nice post, Rachael....

:spank:

[bigwillq]

39. Yes! I'm a woman who can cook!

Awesome! :P ;) :rofl:

(can't wait for this reply)

[bicentennial_baby]

41. Oh no you didn't!!

I pray that Sandra Lee haunts your dreams, beeyotch... :spank:

:rofl:

[bigwillq]

42. Sandra Lee is always in my dreams

Every night I dream she is pouring one of her cocktails all over me and then licking it off! :rofl: :) :P

[bicentennial_baby]

44. Um, d00d, I don't know if you know this, but...

you're gay!!1!

:wtf:

:rofl:

Have you seen her Kwaanza cake? :rofl:

[bigwillq]

45. I am?!?!??!?

:rofl:

No, haven't seen the cake.

[bicentennial_baby]

46. Oh wow...here you go!

Enjoy! :rofl:

[bigwillq]

47. I will have to watch that tomm.

There is no sound on the computers here at work and I really want to have a good laugh! :rofl:

[Fox Mulder]

32. That's good to drink if you want to get drunk.

It's really cheap and tastes a lot better than beer.

[bigwillq]

35. I do enjoy it

when that's all that's available. It does taste good! :)

[querelle]

33. Hey There bi_baby!

Aussie wines are my personal favourite right now. Wolf Blass Yellow Label is a really fine wine. But do you want to know a secret? Most French-Canadians (comme moi) drink a French vin ordinaire called Kressman. For the price, it is superb. I serve Kressman all the time at dinner parties and guests always ask me the the vintage. I just laugh to myself...........because it is a really cheap red but tastes like a real high end wine.

Q

[bicentennial_baby]

36. Interesting...I'll check it out!

Mwah! :loveya:

[zabet]

40. I buy a case of this every year..

it sells out extremely fast.
The muscadines for this wine are
hand selected.

Queen Anne's Revenge


Sweet and complex Queen Anne's Revenge is 100% Muscadine wine- The juice for this wine has soaked with the skins for several days making this wine richer and more complex than our other Muscadine Wines. Queen Anne's is available for only several months during the year as supplies are limited and demand is great!

29.99 if purchased by the single bottle.

[Ava]

48. chianti was a favorite of everyone on our trip to italy

:hi: I know it's common here too, but the locals there like it and it's cheap

[Guava Jelly]

49. Here is a really good and inexpensive wine

Norton Malbec from Argentina
Under 11 bucks and I'd serve it to anybody.

[flvegan]

50. Fat Bastard makes a decent red. $12 at the grocery.

Added plus, you get to say "Fat Bastard" over and over.

[kwassa]

51. Cline Zinfindel

If you like Cabs, you'll like Zin. This is a dependably excellent wine

[MissMillie]

52. Jacobs Creek Shiraz

not at all expensive

[LeftyMom]

53. I like a good Sangiovese.

I don't know line real well, so I can't tell you which years and labels, but that's the one style I tend to have luck with. Holds up well to robust Italian food.

[speedoo]

59. Here are a couple of wonderful California Sangiovese(s)...

Foppiano

http://www.cellartracker.com/wine.asp?iWine=100277


Vino Noceto

http://www.cellartracker.com/wine.asp?iWine=266629


I recommend both very highly, especially the Vino Noceto.

[davsand]

54. I'd suggest a Cote du Rhone

It is a product of France, a very nice red. You can taste the grape in it--like you can in a Beaujolais or a well made Zin. Dry without being terribly tannic. You can drink them fairly young or you can lay them down for a few years.

One of my favorites to just sit and drink. Usually not terribly expensive but some are better than others. Be sure and buy a couple of different makes.


Laura

[havocmom]

56. Greg Norman vinyard has a Cabernet/Merlot blend which we love.

It really is rather good with a most pleasing price too. Havocdad knows a bit about wine so I trust his pick. I LOVE this one.

Bogle label has some good reds too

[doc03]

57. How about a nice

Mogan David 20/20 Mad Dog. It's cheap and it has a convenient screw off cap.
:silly:

[Redneck Socialist]

58. Might I suggest a Pinot Noir?

Salmon Run is especially tasty.

[Jamastiene]

60. I hear the most vintage stuff comes from a box.

:P




























:hide:

[speedoo]

61. If you are near a Costco that sells wine, they have a wonderful..

Cabernet Sauvignon under their Kirkland label... 2005 Napa Valley. It's only about $13 and it's better than a lot of $20-25 Cabs from Napa. I have been drinking it last couple of nights.

[speedoo]

62. I get most of my wine here:

http://wine.woot.com/

Pretty much just West Coast US wines at great savings. Excellent source of wine, and the really nice thing is the winemakers visit the forum to discuss their wines.
