I like some red wine, but my drink of choice is tequila on the rocks. I'm sipping some right now and watching Hannibal

Well I'm a recent red wine fan. Always been a fan of the champers but never anything else. Until....until I met my good friend Baco Noir and Foch. I love them.

I took a liking to wine a couple years back. Don't really have it often though.

For over a decade of drinking this specific regional Zin from Ravenswood, its always been at least great if not outright fantastic. About a decade ago, I brought a bottle of this stuff to a blind tasting held by some friends who also happened to be in the wine distribution business here in Austin. They held the tastings to sharpen their own skills and to ensure they could identify the "best" wines. My lowly bottle of Ravenswood Lodi won the blind tasting against "heavy hitters" like Hendry's Block 7, at a fraction of the price per bottle. :) Try it, you'll like it!

It tastes wierd at first, but it is a great party punch.

My girlfriend and I just got back from a trip out to West Texas.
While out near Marfa, we stopped by a winery called Luz de Estrella and did a tasting with the owner. Their wine is unique in that they only use grapes grown on the premises or sourced from elsewhere in the Chihuahuan Desert region.
I could just tell you that they have some great reds (including a Merlot/Cab that was frickin amazing) but the real shining endorsement is that my girlfriend... who normally clings to sweet white wines... loved most of what we tasted. We came home with 5 bottles, and I still need to order a bottle of that Merlot/Cab.

I'll have to see if those labels you posted have made it down here. Spec's should have them if anyone does. :wink:

I'll drink red wine on occasion. I hate white wine. The problem for me is I can drink an entire bottle and not feel a buzz. If I'm going to drink something other than beer, make it a Long Island Iced Tea. Go big or stay home I always say.

My wife is a red wine lover for sure !! She loves that stuff. I don't even drink wine...just never really got into it.

Give me Wild Turkey 101 and some Sprite...or a Maker's Mark...or a 7 & 7...or...just give me a good cold beer !!

When out in the San Fran area recently we hit up this area. As mentioned...I don't really drink the stuff but it was pretty cool touring some of the vineyards.

I am a big Riesling fan. I like the sweeter whites. I keep trying to get into reds but the tannin taste is too much for me. I'm hoping I'll eventually find one I like.

You've got one of the best wine regions going in your back yard and you buy stuff from OREGON, when you could be visiting wineries and taking tasting tours?!

Whoa! I should clarify. I couldn't find pictures of the Baco Noir that I normally drink. :( I just google image searched "baco noir" and that's what I came up with.

Papa...I recently did a tasting at Puddicombe Farms. I credit them with my newfound love of certain red wines. I've also found a Pelee Island that I love.

I am a hardcore beer drinker. Give me a cold beer any day and I'm a happy girl. So this is quite a departure for me and I'm absolutley loving it!

Years back a riding group that I was a member of did a lunch ride to one of the Niagara wineries. One of our members was a pastry chef and was acquainted with the head chef there. It was definitely worth the trip.

Stuck for good and my grandma's favorite song.

I have a great red wine that my girlfriend and I are saving for either our break up or marriage. We got it when she took a secret trip to Savannah, GA with me for a 4 day romantic getaway type deal. We found it at a wine tasting place in "City Market" in Savannah. It's a muscadine wine and full of win.

It's the Hopulikit red
