Personally I enjoy a nice glass of Beringer myself.

My DH likes to drink his reds at room temperature.

Most reds are supposed to be enjoyed at room temp. Just as I wouldn't drink a Reisling at room temp, I wouldn't drink a Merlot chilled.

My favorite wine is Beringer White Zinfandel...Yum...although I am very partial to Champagne..I love that stuff!

DW and I both really enjoy the Rosemount Estate Shiraz. Nicely priced Australian. In general we prefer reds to whites and like them at room temperature.

Just recently tried a Kendall-Jackson (I think) Semillon-Chardonnay. We enjoyed that also.

the only wine i can drink while keeping a straight face (and not spitting it out) is white zinfandle. Red wine tastes salty to me and gives me a headache. I also love Arbor Mist, does that count?

We got a delicious wine at the Food & Wine Festival last year. It is called "Rosa Regale" by Banfi. It is a sparkling red wine. I was scared it would break on the flight home! I finally found a local liquor store that sells it!

I, too, am definitly partial to red wines. My favorites are: Pinot Noir, Shiraz/Syrah and chianti, although I sometimes really enjoy a good cabernat, merlot or even red zinfandel. I like a nice chilled white wine in the summertime, too, but HATE sweet wines and spumanti. (I don't drink "pink" wine). I also like some dessert wines and always enjoy a nice port after dinner. Anyone ever try ice wine? I almost bought some recently, but it is rather expensive and decided not to On our cruise last November, our server suggested it, and I've been dying to try it ever since.

Anything made with grapes. Has an alcohol content, and I can sit on the deck and sip and be happy.

Dunhill and rabbit idge. They aren't expensive wines but then are really good. I wish I bought bottles of wine when I was in Australia, I listen to my son who said I didn't need that. I'll never get back there again, oh well, I can buy some here and pretend I brought it home

here is what I like (cheap-wise) -

Rosemont Shriaz (and pretty much anything else Rosemont makes) $9 average.

Gallo Cabernat Sav (the BEST value for $11 bottle level). It's rated 90 from Wine Magazine. Very well rounded. You should try this !

Any Italian Chianti. Best if you have heavy food, like pizza, Chinese food, tapas!

I like soft red wine. We have a local winery, Oliver, that puts out a soft red wine that is my fav.

We drink a lot of wine here.

Living in California we have a plethora of great vineyards. I admit to being a total wine snob, cheap wines give me headaches and I have to have a decent bottle of wine.

My personal favorite is a Cakebread Chardonnay, but Kistler and Livingston also make outstanding chardonnays, but hard to find.

Other Chardonnays we like (I detest even a hint of sweetness in wine):

Far Niente
Acacia
La Crema
Hess Select

I like red wine as well but the sulfites give me a nasty headache so I can't drink it much.

If you enjoy sparkling wines:

Veuve Clicquot
Iron Horse
Gloria Ferrer

Enjoy!

I agree. I ordered a glass of wine at the luau, whatever kind was included and I got so sick. It was a bad scene
