It's become our table wine. We also like Bohemian Highway (despite the stupid ****ing design of the label) and Barefoot Zinfandel. Those are the cheap reds we drink on a regular basis. For better wines, we drink "whiskey reds" like Alexander Valley Cab, Louis Martini Cab, Lake Sonoma Zin. The meatier and more body, the better.

Just gave an old Scotch Drinker a bottle of that on Sunday. It was his 90th birthday. He is pretty much a "bar scotch" kinda guy. He was thrilled Told me he needed to go out and stash it in his pick-up before it got put on the table for all to drink. Made me feel good.

Do you try to describe the wine? My girlfriend and I do that sometimes when we are feeling really classy. That $26 stuff I mentioned, her comment: "Tastes sweaty. Yeah, like sweat." It was a really good description. I'm working on my palate. It's pretty weak as of now. Last edited by Jenson71; 04-28-2010 at 08:42 PM.. |

Haha. I don't usually talk about the way it "tastes" unless a taste is overwhelming (tobacco, cherry, oak). I usually am more interested in talking about the entry/body/finish as well as the mouth feel. I like wines with a lot of body that linger on the palate. That's why I don't like most pinot noirs. I find that they have a good entry, but that they're too light on the palate and don't stick around. That's why I term the wines I like "whiskey reds." I'm a whiskey drinker. I like wines that provide a similar experience to sipping good whiskey, so I tend toward heavier wines.

I have also watched John Cleese's Wine for the Confused on netflix in order to get more into enjoying wine; that was interesting and helpful, but it's strictly for beginners. |

Tryin' some "Casshole Pilsner" right now:
Tastes like Post Rock Pablo's popcorn dump, has an extremely weak finish, and costs $77.09 a six.
