This is why i cant wait to turn 21. I could care less about getting trashed, hell i could do that now if i really wanted to. I want to be able to enjoy a good wine and a steak! Ok so what i just said really didnt help with anything you asked...lol
I have one of those too!!SilverCTS said:Wine is one of my favorite subjects.
I have a wine cooler built into our kitchen cabinets. It perfectly simulates the conditions of a wine sellar.
I like beer as well. Our refrigerator in the garage is always well stocked with all sorts of beer. You can't sip wine when eating hot & spicy food, but you can drink beer.SpeedyArizona said:I have on of those wine coolers that came with my condo, but mine always has tens of bottles of Mountain Dew in it. I do enjoy a glass White Zinfandel every so often after work. I enjoy the finer things in life:
Sitting on the balcony looking west onto the golf course over the Arizona sunset drinking a BUDWEISER!
I never cared for red wine, white wine is ok. I just like cheap beer with steak on the grill and Charlie Daniels playing in the backround.
Rancho Zabaco Zinfindel is really good. I always stock up on several bottles when I visit the wine store. You can't beat it for the price.Spyder said:Cakebread is quite good...had it for the first time in Vegas a few months back. For an under-ten-dollar a bottle white, I really like Rancho Zabaco's Dancing Bull...they also make a Zinfindel which is incredibly good, but their sauvignan blanc is great as well...about seven bucks a bottle...
Cakebread..I've never seen it on the shelves. At $45/bottle it would be for special moments. Thanks for the tip!:yup:Rolex said:My very favorite white wine is Cakebread Cellars chardonay ($45). They also make a fine sauvignon blanc ($25).
A close second favorite to the Cakebread Chardonay is Louis Jadot Pouilly Fuse ($20-25). Obviously a French wine....but still quite tasty.![]()
About 55 degrees. The temperature of the ground or well water.SilverCTS said:Wine is one of my favorite subjects.

I've seen that on the shelves. It's a French name but a CA wine right?:hmm:turbojimmy said:I like anything from Australia or New Zealand.
I second the vote for Clos Du Bois, too. Their Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is very good but hard to find. It's a bit more than the 'regular' stuff but as far as wines go it's still reasonable. Jim
Yes it is tricky. It's a CA wine, Alexander Valley according to their website.RobertCTS said:I've seen that on the shelves. It's a French name but a CA wine right?:hmm:
I've tried a few cab/merlot and shiraz/merlot blends that were very good. Never tried any white or blush blends that I can recall.RobertCTS said:Anyone try any blends? I recently tried a blend of Chardonnay and Reisling wines. Very, very good. Almost a sparkling wine. A lot of the Rose wines are blends.
