There's something about drinking wine and listening to records. It's a good combination for real.I love red wine. Don't know a thing about it but I do know when I have a good glass. I like deep, slightly bitter stuff. Don't know if that's dry, or wet, Merlot, or Cabernet Sovenion. I don't want to blow thousands, drinking garbage till I find the good stuff. What's that shit when it come to the vino.Years ago I used to buy Valpolaccella, which I liked a lot, but I recently saw some and it's a nine dollar bottle. I said, ew. LOLI like chianti but it seems a little flat.One time I bought a bottle of Raspberry wine from Washington state. Had that with pasta and FRESH pesto. It was so good all i could do is laugh. It was like the fist time I got real stoned. I'm not talking about the buzz from the wine, but the buzz from the flavor.

Talk to that dude.
I'm gonna miss white wine now that this time of year is ending.
no. are you?
i was just saying you could find some threads on wine to check out. this apparently is not cool to do. let me
Just seemed like you were because that's like the automatic knee jerk reaction for uptight forum browsers.
Use the search function, dammit!!!
Shafer cab's also bring the heat.
Vinyl playlist for the wine:
Candy Stanton>Donald Byrd>Dr. Lonnie Smith> Curtis Mayfield> Johnny Cash
This is a great fuckin album BTW.
Somebody jacked my copy from a garage, though. I got the CD but it's, obviously, not the same.
try the following...
Twenty Bench ~$16 (i just tried this recently and its my new favorite wine, very robust and smooth)
6th Sense Syrah ~$13
Liberty School Cabernet ~$12
Conn Creek Cabernet ~$15
Les Caves Joseph Bordeaux ~$5 (At Trader Joes and pretty good. Decant it for an hour or so and youre set to go)
you should bomb it down here next Friday. There's a spot in Eagle Rock called Colorado Wine Co that does tastings every Fri. It's a store that specializes in good wines $25 and under.
a couple of the last gems I discovered there
Banrock Station White Shiraz.
And this...
has been getting me through the long hot nights i've been working.
I'm enjoying:
a little bit of this
and a little bit of this
I used to get this amazing stuff from a local spot
that was $8.99 per bottle and tasted like $75 champagne,
but then the connection dried up.
Preferably French, although I'm open to Italian or elsewhere,
as long as it's not Californian. High yeast content is a plus.
I'm going to assume
Prosecco!
PROSECCO DI VALDOBBIADENE "Frizzante"
and my favorite red right now is Chateau Maris Syrah
SoulonIce-you ever had moscato?
I don't think so ... but I will!
its real sweet. and the bottle always seems to be smaller than the rest.
that's definetly Aser
I wanted to participate in the summer wine thread because i have been enjoying my case of
All summer
Orpailleur is a quebecois vgnoble that was close to my old country house and that i recently rediscovered
its a great visit if you are ever in quebec
My portuguese friend visiting really opened my eyes to great wines form his region

the premise is basically that even small-scale European wineries have had to modernize their wine-making process in a way that homogenizes their product, to please the pedestrian tastes of the primary US wine critic.
I enjoy wine but I'm no expert. I'm wondering if any hardcore afficianados out there agree with this doc -- and, if so, can recommend some nice wines that haven't succumbed to that pressure to globalize their product, and still retain a distinct and less crowd-pleasing taste.
Decant for at least 30 mins and you're good to go. Should be around $15.
agreed. It is a bit too sweet for me sometimes, but I can enjoy it every so often. I do love prosecco and campari.
Portugese wine is
last wine I bought a case of was this Portugese Douro
What happens when you drink bourbon? You kill somebody?
