    I love my wines - I live in Western Australia and we get the most amazing wines from the Margaret River region. We are also fortunate enough to have a good friend who owns a winery down there. Love my Cabernet Sauvignon or a nice Merlot.. Love a crisp dry white in summer (it gets quite hot here - last year we had 50 days of the temperature being over 35 degrees celcius - 95 degrees fahrenheit) so white wine is popular or even a sparkling wine or two in my house!

    I like dry white wine, I'm not sure which type is my favourite. Maybe chardonnay. I also like cava or prosecco. I don't drink very often these days.

    I drink only red.......and the stronger the better. Mostly it's Merlot, Cabernet, and Pinot Noir for me. Lately i've been into Portugese and Argentinian wines.

    I drink wine most evenings with dinner.
    What I drink depends on the season and what's for dinner.

    Lately I've been drinking a dry pinot noir.
    Not a fan of sweet wines.

    I love red wine. As to what type, it just depends on what I'm pairing it with. Not a huge fan of white wine, but I do drink it more in the summer.

    Cabernet. Anything by Justin, especially the Isosceles.

    I love Simi Chardonnay. Barefoot Moscato is fantastic, as well. White Merlot, too!

    Love wine; we go to wine tastings all the time.

    Current favorite is New Zealand Marborough Sauvignon Blanc

    and Biltmore's Blanc de Blanc (Their driest Sparkling wine)

    there was a local winery, but they had to shut their doors and they made an awesome Chocolate Raspberry Wine (it's a red) and it's perfect for Winter...it is very "warming"

    After doing several trips to different wine regions throughout the world and sampling different varietals throughout I have found myself always going for a Bordeaux or a big bold Napa Cab. if i must drink a white it will be a Sav Blanc. The Napa Chards are too buttery and oakey for my pallet. While something like a Moscato or a White Zin are way too sweet. I would cringe if i heard someone order White Zin in a restaurant. Many consider it a starter wine and it isn't taken seriously in the wine community at large.

    mostly red for me, often full bodied French wines, but got a taste for Californian Pinot Noir after visiting the region in September :smile:

    To distinquish myself as a wine connoisseur, I would google the most obscure offering and claim to love it :happy: The fact is though, I enjoy a good Cabernet better than anything. A side benefit is that just about any winery worth the cork can make a good Cab. Most of mine is aroun $7 :drinker:
