Re: Favorite Wine?

  • My "go to" wines are as follows:

    Cavit Pino Grigio

    Blackstone Merlot

    They're not the best wines I've ever had, but they are good as "standard" drinking and cooking wines. I think they're around $10-$12 a bottle........

    The merlot is one of the few reds in its price range that doesn't give me a huge headache.

  • Marco Negro Moscato, super sweet white wine, is my favorite wine. It's about $16 a bottle. Not to bad. :) 
  • Mmmm...wine.

    Trader Joe's sells a great inexpensive cabernet sauvignon called Trellis.  I haven't bought it in, oh, about 7 months, ha ha, but if I'm remembering correctly, it's about $6 or $7 a bottle.

  • Santa Margherita Pinot grigio is one of my faves, but that is about $20.  I also love sauvignon blancs from the Marlborough region of New Zealand - I can find one for about $12 - $15

    For red, I am currently loving Marques de Riscale Rioja, that is about $13 I think

  • Gnarly Head old vine zinfandel, about 13 a bottle.

    I dunno, I like reds and I like this one. I'm not a wine snob.

    Polka Dot Rieisling.  It is about 12 dollars a bottle.  I can find it at most grocery stores.

    If I can't find that, then I will drink Relax Riesling, which is about 10/11 bucks at Walmart and Target.

    I like both of these also - but I have found them at our local grocery for around 8 or 9 dollars a bottle.  Same for Chateau St. Michelle Riesling - about $8.  I also like Gewurztraminer - another sweet white wine, also under $10.  Those are my go to wines that I usually have on hand for me.

    I love Santa Margherita when I'm in the mood for pinot grigio (which is usually only once in a while in the summer).  When we were in Positano a few years ago, they had it at the local market for about $5 a bottle.  I wanted to stock up our suitcase, but DH talked me out of it.  LOL

  • i love oak leaf--from walmart $2.97 per bottle :)   it really tastes pretty good for being a cheap wine

    yellow tail is good

    i love some locally made wines--Winehaven and Chateau St. Croix (both have websites).   Winehaven Deer Garden Blush or their Lake Chardonnay are favs--$12-15 per bottle depending on where i purchase it

      Chateau St. Croix the Chardonnay.  $17-20 depending

    Prairie Fume from Wollersheim Winery in WI--$20

    pretty much any white or blush is yummy to me.

     This. Gewurztraminers can be a little harder to find, but is a favorite of DH's and mine, along with reislings. There are many types of reisling, and many are not typically too pricey and can be found anywhere.
