White wine, or red?

Of course it will vary if you're eating on WHAT you're eating, but let's say, lunch/dinner is at least an hour away, maybe 2....

For me? Let's just say a certain UB40 song comes to mind...

 

red

 

depends on whats on the plate

 

All autumn / winter i've been partaking in a cheeky glass or two of shiraz or a pinot. If I really want to treat myself its the Box Stallion 2006 Tempranillo...ahhh heaven.

Now that we're in spring & summer is on its way i'll be living on Sauvignon Blanc, mainly the Box Stallion 2008, and trying to ignite my love of chardonnay again with the Port Phillip Estate 2006.

I do love my wines :smt054

 

in the fall i love Reislings to go with the crispness of an apple salad, sausages, camembert or brie and warm bread, come Nov I await the Chateauneuf du Pape to arrive and start my warm reds

 

Well with fish i will choose white wine and most of the pasta dishes with exeption of few that you can have red wine.
red meat always with a nice red wine .
pork and chicken white wine but for me i will take red
reason is i prefer sweet red wine

Edit

oh forgot to add that i hate when people put red wine in the fridge just a nice room tempreture is best .. usualy i leave it to get more warm if someone give me red wine cold from the fridge

 

i love a great pork loin with white or red, but i love to eat just a big steak with salad and a pinot noir or a cabernet

a good pinot gris is great too

 

Just to remind, this thread is for the wines you drink WITHOUT food, but I agree - no steak is complete without a nice red.

 

seems today will be a hot day so a nice wine will go nice

I only have one bottle left some semillon Sauvignon Blanc ..


not the most expencive but when you drink a lot like me

btw i dont get one brand only i like to change

 

i never heard of that sort of wine, unless you mean wine coolers. Wine has always been drank with food, its how it is made and how it is drank.

 

i love the california wines they have surpassed alot of the European wines. I love new york wines as well, chileans, australians and south africans too

 

Do you not drink it at parties where there may be only small nibbles available? Or late on a Sunday afternoon at a pavement cafe?

 

Rose mate, rose.

 

Merlot.

 

Nyx, see if you can find this in the local bottle shop...its the best...!!!

 

Love red wines but will drink most. One of my current favs is brachetto d'acqui, a sparkling red from Italy. Nice on a hot summer day.

 

Tarshibear i will look not sure if i have try it i dont remember
will try it and will tell you what i think

The one that i posted before for a cheap wine its great.
usualy i get better but also depands what bills we have in a month if i know we dont have many i end up taking better wines ..

 

I have not developed a taste for red wine. I've tried all different types, different brands, different cost, it just doesn't taste good to me. :smt012

So, when I drink wine, it's white. I love reislings, pinot grigio, and some chardonnays mostly.

 

lol...completely understand!!!! I have a bottle o down the street that sells clearskins from all over Australia & I hit there in the tight weeks

 

A good glass of wine on its own is a treat!
Love it!
My favorite is a 100% Barbera from Unti in California (Sonoma)http://www.untivineyards.com/
They have an awesome Zinfandel as well.

Also I would go with Cakebread's (Napa) Cab
Their Dancing Bear Cab is silly good, ut also over $100 at the winery:-(
