docron Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 depends on what you're eating really, but if I had to choose it'd be white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 It does depend. I try to drink red (Merlot, usually) because it's supposedly healthier; but sometimes enjoy white also. I also almost always have a bottle of this on hand: http://www.thedogs.com/index.php?pr=ourdogblue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrycja Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Red red red White wine is like white chocolate to me, kind of pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footsteps of Dawn Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I like red, especially Cabernet and Syrah/Shiraz. Wouldn't say no to a glass of white either, though. I don't really have a preference...I like flinty Chardonnays and fruity Muscats, so basically I'll drink whatever you put in front of me as long as it's good.

docron Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 As long as it comes in a plastic bladder packaged inside of a box that you can fashion into an easy-pour spicket, its fine by me! lmao, stupid americans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We call it 'goon' where I come from. A great trick we have is to peg it onto a rotating clothes-line, you spin it and whoever it stops on has to drink. Great game, it's called goon-of-fortune.

Aspensound Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Red, Burgundy. The only white I can stand is Champagne Champagne made with white Chardonnay OR red Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes, usually combination of all three of them, but could made only a one grape variety. So that´s why Champagne is only "white" wine you´d like Red´s good and white too, it depends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxie Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I'm not really a big wine drinker. But if I had to choose it would be white. I've tried to like red wine... but I just can't do it. I actually feel a bit nauseous if I drink red wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that´s why Champagne is only "white" wine you´d like Well that's exactly right because most cuvées are, as you said, are a blend of grape varieties. Which is why I like champagne because, being a Burgundy drinker, I prefer the pinot noir element to counter the sweetness of the chardonnay. I can handle a refined Blanc de blancs, but it has to be rather elegant for me to get away from the full bodied chardonnay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebk Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I'm enjoying a lovely petit shirah even as we speak (or type as it were). I love red, especially Italians. I'm not fond of chardonnay, but love a crisp sauvignon blanc or pinot grigio. And, of course, champagne... I love wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mangani Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 White wine is nice in the summer months but red wine is better for most of the rest of the year. I prefer red usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancin'Days Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I like a good pinot noir, cabernet souvignon or merlot but anything that is red and fairly dry. I will be popping a few corks tonight from a few bottles that I got for my birthday. PROST! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
