I am always looking to try something new. Which wines are your favorites?

I am fond of the wines from Courtney Benham, both the Courtney Benham label and the Martin Ray label, and the Seghesio wines.

Evil E90 · 12-18-2010, 07:16 PM

It's all about Manischewitz Blackberry wine and Stella Rosa from San Antonio Winery. Both are best severed chilled.

ase2dais · 12-19-2010, 06:47 PM

Bordeaux

J BONE · 12-19-2010, 07:03 PM

Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon

Anderson's Conn Valley Cabernet

Two excellent choices IMO

Feyd · 12-19-2010, 07:16 PM

Don't drink wine much, but when I do I'll usually go for a Shiraz if I'm chilling... or a Bordeaux if I'm eating a nice meal.

...mostly.

Barefoot reds. $6 at the Walmart and they even have a cork.

I'm a big cabernet fan and this is what I have at all times in the wine rack.

BV Georges de Latour 06

Grgich Hills 05

Provenance 06

Sterling Reserves

And for everyday drinks I have a few bottles of Louis Martini cabs sitting around.

Garduna · 12-21-2010, 01:15 AM

For something cheap and nice, I go with the wines from Fuzion. I don't think it is sold in america tho.

PKL · 12-21-2010, 08:52 AM

I'm on Arizona Stronghold right now made by Mr. Maynard James Keenan. Fantastic wine, look it up.

Kyoshi71 · 12-21-2010, 09:19 AM

For a DD (Daily drinker) I like J. Lohr Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon. Cost between $11-$14 per bottle and IMO is unmatched for the $$$

wakeboarder109 · 12-28-2010, 12:06 PM

lately i've been drinking Malbec's. you can find some inexpensive ones which still taste pretty good

infinitekidM2C · 12-28-2010, 12:26 PM

If you want to try something new...try out some Spanish wines...look for the Tempranillo grape versions..they are excellent.

008 · 12-28-2010, 05:40 PM

Roy Estate
Plumpjack Cab
Justin Petit Verdot
Among others

I usually drink CS/Malbecs from Chile, Arg and France.

The barefoot is incredible for the price. Excellent red table wine versus a blush.

gthal · 12-29-2010, 07:34 AM

Anything from David Arthur but my favorite is their Elevation which is a nice cab. Not that I'm into esthetics when it comes to wine but the bottle the the Elevation comes in is awesome... as heavy as a tank, I love it. I have not met a David Arthur wine that I did not love.
