Had an ice wine with brandy that a friends' sister brought from Toronto for her wedding. VERY good, but VERY expensive!! Something like $50 and the bottle is about half the size of a "normal" bottle of wine.

That's it! I'm finding ice wine and chocolate wine!

Hey my name is Alex. I love sweet wines I know there not the best for you. I love to get ones from the local vineyards here in Virginia.

Hey y'all! I don't know if I have a favorite wine. I will try any wine at least once if not multiple times, season to season my taste for wines changes. I always have a verity of wines at the house from the local winery and will occasionally pick up a bottle at the store to try. I don't know if anyone has purchased a bottle that was just horrible, but I know I have and when I do get that bottle I just can't just I always use a mixer about half wine (depending on how BAD it is) and the other half sprite zero, or diet coke with some ice. Makes the wine much better and then I don't waste the money by throwing it out. I am a huge red fan, blushes are okay, and Whites are good once in a while as well. I have a blast at wineries and doing wine tastings. I have cut back on all alcohol intake since joining MFP but still enjoy to drink a few now and again. Hope we can use this group to find new wines to try and the ones that we should probably stay away from.

I LOVE Wine so I make sure I save some calories to enjoy it during the weekends. Mostly I love Pinot grigio, especially Santa Margarita. Lately I have also enjoyed Malbec, but I'm not picky!

Hi everyone,
I'm a wine lover and finding it hard to give up on Mfp currently drinking a small pinot grigio spritzer as I have worked very hard this week and I'm treating myself

I've read the spritzers save on calories! I'll have to try that. I'm enjoying my Chardonnay right now!

Hi All,

I'm Sarah and definitely a red wine girl....I'm from Adelaide (South Australia - the Wine State of Australia.....we produce 70% of Australia's glorious wine) as a result I like big bold reds like a Barossa Shiraz, Tempranillos from Spain, Anything from the Coonawara or the McClaren Vale regions I would definitely snap those up without a second's hesitation!!! Even Wirra Wirra and Church Block earn a guernsey!

I'm very much liking the new Shiraz Viognier blends and have even started developing a tast for a few Argentinian Malbecs.

Unfortunately living in London we don't get much exposure to the American reds with the main one available here being Echo Falls which I tend to leave on the shelf as it looks like it would lead to a large hang over especially at the £3 bottle price point!

Happy to find some like minded souls!

Hi!
I'm a wine lover. I enjoy any grape that taste good. I started out with sweet whites like Sauternes and Gewurztraminer. And since I have move all the way up the tasting flight to drier whites then to reds. The last grape I grew to like was Chardonnay. I love pairing the wines I drink with my meals. Some of my favorite combos are Riesling with a spicy Szechuan dish and a Old Vines Zin with a burger.

Hi Mari! I'm so glad to know about someone who loves wine as much as I do who is also losing weight. Congratulations on losing 21 pounds! You inspire me.
My latest strategy is to eat some good, lean proteins early in the day, when I'm not tempted to drink, and to measure out exactly the ounces of wine that I can have to stay within my diet at night. This obviously does not work when I'm going out for dinner, but I'm working on that.

How have you managed to drink and still lose weight?

And do you want to be friends?
