what is your wine choice?

Apologies for the huge picture... this made me think about 3/4 of you!

I fall into the Pinot Grigio/dry white category, but love the description for boxed wine!

Chrisanna0508

I am a Riesling or Pinot Noir type of person

KerCo51

Anything red.

blathnat

I'm a Cab with dinner and Chardonnay if I'm just having a glass of wine... and they are boxes, but good boxes

PixiesDust

Sauvignon Blanc FTW!

mancila60

I won't even lie I'm in the under $10/boxed wine category. I don't really drink wine and the ones I do are more sparkling or Boone's Farm (college days). I prefer liqour versus wine. Or beer I can drink beer.

Cabernet for red, and I used to be a Sauvignon Blanc for white until I discovered Moscato!!! So good.

carawasa

i HATE wine, but if I had to chose I'd probably pick riesling .  Is prosecco not wine?  Because I do love that shit.

ncase2

Moscato FTW! And if I can find it, Moscato di Asti. Life changing, ladies

With dinner, normally Cabernet.  Pre-dinner (if I choose wine), Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc. 

Generally speaking - I lean more towards red wine in the fall/winter and white wine in the summer. 

My absolute favorite pairing is oysters and champagne.  YUM! 

deedee1017

Moscato or Riesling but the only time I've spent in Germany is the layover we had yeeeeeeeears ago.  )

Sauv blancs from the Marlborough region of New Zealand. That sounds pretentious but there really is a huge difference based on where grapes are grown.

This exactly. And I've never been to Germany, so maybe it's my German heritage?

YES!  Totes agree!!!  Cloudy Bay FTW!

I am a merlot girl. But not a steak girl so thats a funny description. I cant handle Moscato-way too sweet. I like a good Cab sometimes. I recently tried Melbec and didnt like it. Too dry for me.

kimbo1216

I'm a red girl. Pinot Noir is what I drink lost often--and no, I do not mean to order the other Pinot. Lol. But I will take a merlot or can of PN is not an option.

I preferred white pre my first pregnancy. Since having DD1, I started preferring red.

I also like Pinot noir and Riesling.

Let's face it, most of the time I fall into the under $10 category unless we decide to drink one of our wine club bottles. Then I'm a cab or a Chardonnay (turning into my mother! Except my mom is actually a red wine gal).

And I do often pick a wine based on the label.

Malbec. I must not be special enough to make the poster.

This! I also love Zinfandel, not White Zinfandel, the delicious red one.

I'm the same way. I can't wait for it to get warmer.. we've got some great white wines in at work and I'm ready to open them!

@carawasa - yes, prosecco is wine

I'm in the moscato club, and could guzzle it like juice!!

So, I'm not a big wine drinker.  They have to be somewhat sweet for me to like it, which explains why I like love Moscato and Riesling.  I know which brands I like of those but I feel like such a little kid when it comes to all other wines.  Is it really an acquired taste?  I know nothing about reds other than it's what's in the communion cup on Sundays, goes well with red meat, and it makes great sangria.    I really dislike dry wines, from the ones I've tasted.

All you wine enthusiast, teach me something!  Or, I can just stick to margaritas.

I love Moscato.  I have a few of my favorite brands of Moscato.  I did get a cheapy bottle one time and it was blah!  They label was cute though.

One of my fav Cabs is under $10! Have you had Red Diamond before? Amazeballs.

I feel like it's an acquired taste, kind of like with beers too (@beernifer can teach you all about that!) If you're interested in trying some of the drier stuff, my recommendation would be to start with some drier whites before reds. Start with a Chard, Sauv Blanc or Vouvray or Torrontes (La Yunta is my favorite). There are also some great white wine blends that blend drier grapes with a tad of sweet so it's not so bad. After that, give reds a try. Some of my personal favorites for white blends are Brassfield Serenity and Stage Left Go Getter (although I know that one is only sold out of the winery in Cali or distributed in Indiana) Amberhill Secret White is a good blend and is on the sweeter side.

Thank you! I'll have to try some of your recommendations.  My family loves wine but every time they rave about a bottle I'm behind them passing it over to dh or pouring it out.

Fellow Moscato lover, here! I can't get enough!

Viva Diva by Christina Millian makes a delicious mango Moscato that is slightly bubbly. Yummm

Bartenura Moscato is my all-time favorite.

babyLOLO13

Ugh. I scrolled all the way through to see @Amjoy25 picks so I could judge her taste in wine and she hasn't posted yet.  Disappointed  

I like dry reds.  Malbac, Merlot, Cab, Pinot Noir.  Very rarely will I drink white but if I do its Chard.I hate sweet wines-- Moscato etc.  Bleck.

Box wine for tailgating!! 

But lets be honest.... if its poured for me, I'll drink it.

I've been interested in expanding my wine repertoire. Where do I start from Moscato? I cannot stand ANYTHING dry. It's torture for my tastebuds. Any suggestions, anyone?

kelle017

Reisling or moscato. Or a white zin.

Totally agree about the regional grapes. My personal favorite is Lodi Zinfandel.
Great. Now I will *have* to go try a Marlborough Sauv Blanc. It's like getting homework.

DH and I drink almost exclusively Cabs. Our current favorite that is a little more expensive is Dry Creek Vineyard...seriously delicious!
A neighbor gave me a bottle of a French Sauvignon Blanc that I fell in love with, but haven't been able to find it since...so sad.

If you want other wines besides Moscato... try a White Zin or Sweet Red. I'm not sure where you are located, but if you are in a state that Oliver is distributed, you'd probably enjoy their Soft Red, it's very sweet, like grape juice.

I suggest Yellowtail (like $12 for a big bottle, but you could start with the standard size). It's cheap and delicious and a teensy bit bubbly. Loves it.

BrittanyCupcakes

Under $10 category, and I do pick based on which label is cutest/funniest. Bonus points for an interesting bottle shape.

Someone gave us a bottle for Christmas.  I put it in the fridge the other night to have some and then forgot.  I've never tried their moscato. I'm so excited! LOL

My apologies @babyLOLO13! I was like, "oh shit, I'm being paged by my homie; I best get in there".

I. Will. Drink. Anything.

Haha, I was going to post this... we actually distribute these for the state... they come in white, black, blue, orange, green, red and pink. And we've also got this fun bottle..
