yeah.. i mean, i guess i could try a red. the only reds i've really ever had were nasty ass port and some cheap merlot.. so. i'm open for something other than those two.
i'm really new to wine.. much more of a mixed drink/beer drinker. |
Merlot?!?! MERLOT!

Thanks, Alexander Payne, for turning every joe sixpack who saw your film into a bloody wine connoisseur... :rolleyes:
Ah whatever. Heard the movie was pretty good anyway.
On topic: I've always been a fan of riesling whites. Very light, crisp... all that BS. Basically, I think they taste good. Nuff said.
For reds, actually pinot noir is a good choice. Cabernet Sauvignons are on the heavy side, you might wanna avoid them if that's not your bag.
And as far as selecting a bottle, I'd say stay within a price range of $8-15, really. There's a bevy of very drinkable wines in that range, and you'll save some dough too. |

+1. No need to spend loads of dollars on a bottle when you can get something just as good (if not, close at least) for 8 dollars. Especially when it's 'just' for some drinking party, bringing a 50 dollar bottle is a waste of money.

-1 :p
Cabernet Sauvignon's are about the only ones I drink, most of them from South Africa, Southern America and / or Australia are pretty well enjoyable. I wouldn't say they're too heavy either, they've got a pretty distinct taste, yes, but enjoyable nonetheless. Not too fond of Merlots myself either. And that's not because of Sideways. |
