I just fell completely in love with you after reading this post. And for EVERYONE else here that responded, I feel really stupid, in that, I have never even sipped wine before, and I can't believe all you have and know stuff about it. Very impressive, and where have I been all my life?Originally posted by packinpatlandI'm no wine expert. But there is a few I'd recommend.
Have you all seen the movie 'Sideways'?............NO MERLOT!
Actually, I am partial to the reds. The best domestics that I regularly have, (got a glass in hand) have come from the Russian River area of Sonoma, CA. Two in particular are Hahn and Ravenswood. I like their Cabernet Savignon. Rabbit Run is good too.
There's some really good reds from South Africa and Australia, but I'd rather buy US.
Having said that.........my all time favorite has been (we had two bottles, one remains unopened) is Chateau Le Bon Pasteur 1993, it's a blend of 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc. Am waiting for a special occasion to uncork that one. Perhaps SB next year?
When the weather gets warm, there are times I'd rather drink a white. My favorite is Ecco Domani, it's an Italian Pinot Grigio.......'softer' than a Chardonay. I've never had anyone not like it.
So that's it.......my very uncomplicated take on wine.
Another 'wine' movie is 'A Good Year'.........excellent. Salut!"...one thing about me during the course of a game, I get emotional and say things my grandmother lets me know about later. But nobody wants to win on that field anymore than I do, no one." Brett Favre

Grow a pair of balls and drink some Glenlivet.Originally posted by PartialIs there a good wine to develop a taste for wine? I cannot stomach it. It is offensive to my pallet.
Anyone a scotch drinker here? I am trying to get down on the stuff but its intense. I haven't tried a single malt yet, only some mid-range mixed malts.
P.S. If you can't stomach wine, you definately can't stomach scotch
P.S.S>. F*** your PalletTo much of a good thing is an awesome thing
