Let's talk about wine.

Emaline:
So basically, I used to hate wine. It was gross and too tart, and dry and never as good as people told me it was. Then I got invited to a wine/jazz festival, and tried various local wines, and fell in love. I'm pretty much in love with sweet reds, but nothing overly sweet. I had a cherry wine recently and thought it was way too sweet.

Anyway, I'd like to make this thread so we can talk about what wines we think are best and recommend brands, and whatnot.

Basically, my favorite wine so far is the blackberry wine by St. James Winery. It's cheap(or moderately priced), and tasty. This is pretty much what I look for in a wine for everyday occasions. Because wine has become an everyday thing for me. They have a really nice velvet red.


I'm considering buying this or this right now. It's Caduceus, which is the wine that Maynard James Keenan of Tool/A Perfect Circle/Pucisfer makes. Has anybody ever tried it before? What's it like? Is $40.00 way too much for wine?

Trollstormur:
I would not pay $40 for a wine just because a rock star makes it. If you like sweeter wine, try a Gewurtztraminer.

Emaline:
He's also a favorite of my boyfriend and me, so he's not just any old rockstar. I agree its a silly reason though, but fuck, I'm curious.


Any brands you'd recommend for the Gewurtztraminer? Or will just any do.

Oh man this is the thread for me! I'm from the Okanagan Valley in BC which is kinda like Canadian wine country! So yeah wine is a Thing We Do. And I was just going to mention Gewurtztraminer as my favourite. Been getting into white wine a lot more lately (basically I used to drink red wine a lot simply because it made me look Classy), and I am definitely into the sweeter tastes. What sweet reds would you recommend?

Verergoca:
Id say, check out the Crazy Frog range (if you can get it in Canadia). T'is made of liquid win!
