Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Red or white, Cindy?
Hmmm, La Crema makes a tasty chardonnay for somewhere between $13-18 dollars. Reds I'm less definitive about, partly because there's lots of tasty in that price range. Malbecs and Pinot Noir are popular right now. I like meritage blends too, but those often get way spendy.
My favorite zinfandel is Cosentino Cigar Zin. It's usually between $20-25, but it's hard to find.
I am a wine drinker, but I like Yellow Tail, Franzia box wine, and $5.99 Vendange Chardonnay, so not so much a connoisseur
At this age, I am usually shocked at how old I am, but after following the Shiny Happy Monsters from youtube i am SHOCKED to find out the Kate Peirson from the B-52's is oly 2 years younger than my mother!!!
Red, definitely (her and me). I drink the cheap-ass Yellow Tail and am fine with it, but a transcontinental visit deserves a bit more. I like Chiraz and Merlot, but my palate is wasted.
Hec, thank you for the suggestions. I'm ready and waiting for more, Hivemind.
I buy wine that has interesting/especially attractive labels. It usually works out okay.
I bought a friend "El Bastardo" for his Birthday. He thought it was pretty good.
Not Helping cause I know nothing about wine.
Heh, Gar. You're so cute. I've seen "Bitch" wine, and have been mighty tempted, but it's screw-top, so I always wimp out.
-t, I generally subscribe to your cool label philosophy.
Sophia, now I'm afraid to see how old the B-52s are. I hope your birthday was happy.
Screw top is respectable now! Or was not too long ago. I haven't kept up.
Kate Pierson was born in 1948
and my mom in
1946.
For cool labels, I do not know if you get Bully Hill wine where you are, but they are usually fun they are from my county, and the wine maker in Walter Taylor (which is my uncles name, but not my uncle). He sold the Taylor vineyards, and then got sued for using his own name on his wine after he sold them, so ow has Bully Hill.
I'm buying artificial cork on a regular basis (is that biodegradable -- probably not) so it should be.
eta...
Scott has waaaaaaaaaaaaay distant relatives in Italy who run a winery (like distant in that they don't know we exist). If all else fails, I may buy their wine as a vanity purchase and hustle my friends to the restaurant, ASAP.
