We have the Plime beer thread but no wine thread.

I know I have fellow wino Plimates out there, so this is the thread to discuss delicious wines.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

I just got back from the liquor store after buying wine that was intended for our weekend guests, but one delicious bottle didn't even make it into the cupboard.

The kind liquor store owner here recommended this wine, and it is delicious. I can't taste the caramel and vanilla the website says it contains, but I just like good wine.

Here, it sells for about $20/bottle, which is just out of my normal price range, but honestly, it's worth it.

Cheers!

I may have to pick up a bottle of that... We have a lot of white wine here, but that is because I drink the merlot and the cabernet sauvignon...

One consistent favorite is Chile's own Concha Y Toro's Casillero del Diablo:



And while we were in Portugal we tried the local wine which is a Green wine or what they call Vinho Verde, which surprisingly enough we found on sale at out local market:

I love wine. I can never remember what I drink though because the names are generally unremarkable to me. I just remember logos... So I guess I won't have much to contribute till I go home and look at what we have in the wine rack.

But mostly we like Cabernets.

Some of the best wine I have ever tasted is from Puddicombe Farms.

Their Iced Apple (desert wine) is simply amazing.

Those are some nice wine labels... but this is not a wine label contest... I would like it if you would tell us more about these wines?

...And don't plasturbate (upvote yourself)... it does not raise your karma and you'll go blind...

A ritzy Italian restaurant near me uses Concha Y Toro as their house wine.

I <3 Matanzas Creek, especially their chardonnay and sirah. They also sell lavender!!!

I toured the winery a couple of years ago.

I also drink SE Australian and New Zealand whites. The ones with the coolest names and labels generally taste like swill, though :(

My husband did a tour of California Wineries before we met, with his parents and they mentioned that Coppola has really good wines.

I think I have some New Zealand/Autralian wines at home... Let me check the cellar and I will post here some good ones that we like... And don't be silly, you SHOULD NEVER pick a wine for the artsy fartsy label... ;P

This wine is actually very tasty. it has a nice fruity flavor to it.

My favorite wine I've ever had was a Schlossgut Diel Winery Riesling. I really regret not taking a photo of the bottle/label. It was amazing.

Thanks for the photo, Google!


I think the bottle I had was from 1998 though.
/drool

Yeah, I've tried this one too

No we didn't check them out from the label. Just experimenting. Funny, though, that the best labels from Aussie and NZ tend to be for the lesser wines. Marketing!

I know very little about wine, but I do like the Huckleberry Riesling from Latah Creek Winery.
