Hello all, I am relatively new to the wine world and just wondering what everyone's favorite brand, flavor, etc is!
And what type of wine goes best with what meals!
I just bought the brand 'barefoot' Moscato and I also got 'Mondovi' White Zin!

Barefoot Moscato is one of my FAVORITES0

For me it depends on the meal. I like everything from Pinot Noir to Cabernet Sauvignon. If I'm having a glass without a meal I tend to enjoy a lighter red.0

Red wine all the way for me - pretty much love all the New World wines
But when I want to treat myself then it's Barolo all the way. Nom.0 -
As long as its red and not sweet its good for any meal
oh....I realy like having a glass without meal, also

I love my wine far too much! Obviously the saying goes that you drink white with white meat and fish and red with red meat. But I say drink what you like best. When it comes to red wine I like Merlot or Shiraz and for white I like Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio. Stay clear of anything that says it's a 'blend'. These will likely give you a bad head if you're not used to drinking wine.0

Livingston Red Rose..Or pretty much anything sweet. I do like moscato also.0

Really is no 'right wine with food'. Some wines do help enhance food flavours...but for a general guideline, "drink what you like with what you like to eat".
I've had more good reds than whites.
My favourite reasonable-cost wine? Fidelitas Meritage - some GREAT **** right there. Here's a review:

I'm a white wine gal, the drier the better!
Red wine is lovely, but it gives me a terrible headache so I tend to steer clear.
French Chablis or Pouilly Fume when I can afford them, but I got to like a lot of Italian wines when I visted there this year, so I'm currently enjoying Vermentino.0 -
Yes please red!0
-
Yellowtail Shiraz. Tastes good, price is right, gets you drunk.0

^^^THIS!! I love my Moscato!0 -
Our Daily Red is a nice, basic red wine. I also like pretty much any New Zealand Sauvingon Blanc for my white.0
-
I loooooove Barefoot moscato, too. It's like liquid candy. I'm not a huge wine drinker but when I do have it, I like it super sweet.0

You should see my winerack. I get quarterly deliveries of lovely, lovely red wine and it is a joyous occasion. This whole healthy living thing is totally interfering with my drinking though.
If you're in the UK, I'd definitely recommend Laithwaites. Everything they send me is delicious.
http://www.laithwaites.co.uk/DWBase/jsp/article/index.jsp?productId=prod2913936 - Show Stopper durif. So ridiculously delicious I bought a full case.
http://www.laithwaites.co.uk/DWBase/jsp/article/index.jsp?productId=prod3595495 - Chocolatier shiraz. Moustache on the label. Again delicious. A most unusual drop.
See also El Bombero, Black Stump, President's XV for immensely quaffable powerful reds.0 -

If you want to learn, There are several different ways. Attending tastings is one. 15-16 yrs ago, when I started to develop amore serious interest in wine, I would attend weekly tastings at a local wine store. I probably tasted 400 wines a year. You learn a lot just by trying the different wines and talking to the representatives.
You can also look for seminars in your area or a local tasting group. Finally, if you are looking to pair wines with specific foods, working with a knowledgeable person at a local store can be helpful. The more experiences you have, the more you learn - and you get to "drink on the job"!.0 -
My favorite reds: Mirassou Pinot Noir (light) , BV Estates Cabernet (heavy)
My favorite whites: Kendall Jackson Chardonnay (oaky), Barefoot Moscato (sweet)
Someone mentioned staying away from blends, but I really like Three Sisters Menage a Trois (blended white)
All of these are fairly reasonable. I do pretty much follow the rules, red meat or red sauces get red wine; white meat or white sauces get white wine. Pinot goes well with both. The sweet stuff I don't drink with meals. Actually I'll drink any of these without meals! It's all good!0 -
Menage a Trois is really good (the red blend)
Sexy Wine bomb (again, Red) is excellent...
Red Velvet from Cupcake winery is good
Noticing a red theme here Lol-it's my fav.
Big fan of BIG red wines...Malbecs, Cabernet...Chianti...Pinot Noir...nom...Nom....NOM0
