Posted April 4, 2017 The wine, the wine! I'm not a huge wine connoisseur, so I never know what to keep on hand. What are some of your favorite wines? Or.. what are your favorite drinks in general (during a meeting with your lady or male friend)? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 4, 2017 I'm a single malt Scotch guy. But when I'm riding my scooter (usually) I lean toward coffee or sparkling water (S.Pellegrino). 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 4, 2017 There are some very fine reds at reasonable prices. The folks at a good liquor store could steer you in the right direction. As you know, I am a bourbon drinker. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 5, 2017 Bella introduced me to Adesso the other week. Since then, I know that my local liquor store stocks it, and restocks it often, but the 3 times I've been in there they've been sold out. Guy behind the counter says they constantly sell out, it's very popular. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 5, 2017 Kim Crawford makes some wonderful wines. I also have a weakness for Chilean wines. You can never go wrong with Italian reds, even stock up on Chiantis for Italian fare. xoxo, Samantha Sheppard 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) I am a scotch guy but also love wine and trying new wines. I belong to an awesome club and have a link that if you sign up I get a 25 buck credit. I won't post it here as possibly it isn't allowed but pm me for it if you would like it. The bottles average 15-18 bucks a bottle.

Posted April 5, 2017 Does Tequila count as wine? No matter how many times I try, just can't acquire the taste for wine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 5, 2017 I like the Cabernet from J Lohr it's in the $15 - $20 range. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 5, 2017 Well, it looks like I have most of you covered, with the exception of Boink, and the IPA. Thanks guys and gals for the suggestions. I think I'll go on a liquor shopping spree, and then maybe have a lickher spree. Yea!!!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 5, 2017 Ménage à Trois wines are good value and taste great for under $10/btl. If you are ever at Trader Joe's on 7th & Colorado, their "Moon Series" are good wines not two buck (or three buck) Chuck in Colorado. You could also make your own wine to share! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 5, 2017 Booty and beer? I dunno about that. Wine is ok. To me, a couple shots of ice cold Chopin sets the mood with El Dorado Springs water thereafter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 5, 2017 go to a reputable liquor store like Aqnaught or Apple Jack ask the clerks. Tell them what you like the taste of and the price range. Theer are some fairly good Australian wines (yelllow tail )which can fill the bill. The clerks at the barred window liquor store probably won't be of much help. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 5, 2017 Since I am still using hotels, I have not thought to bring beverages. I am a total Craft beer snob, but would be drunk after only One. I feel bad, Raine water is all I have offered my guest thus far...... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can never go wrong with Italian reds, even stock up on Chiantis for Italian fare. xoxo, Samantha Sheppard So true. In my past life I worked as a waiter in a nice Italian restaurant. I will never forget the wine vendor who was educating us about Italian wines: his opening words were "Italians had perfected the craft of creating fine wines when the French were still living in caves and wearing bearskins." That image endures and makes a fine comment at a party when someone brings a nice Italian wine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or.. what are your favorite drinks in general (during a meeting with your lady or male friend)? There are so many wine varietals and brands that it is overwhelming. This is futher complicated by the facts that price does NOT always equal quality, and many wines vary greatly from year to year. That said, I am going to suggest, perhaps to the chagrin or many, that you pick up a couple BOXES of Vin Vault. Yes, that's right, I said BOXES. Vin Vault is excellent and superior to the other box wines and most of the bottles in any given variety. Once opened it will keep for a few weeks so you won't have to drink the whole bottle or waste it. Also, you won't go broke buying it. Lastly, despite what people might claim, if they don't see the box they won't know the difference because it really is good. So......if you must, put it in a decanter...or even an old, empty bottle...(wink wink). 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have many other suggestions for wine. Woodford Reserve is always a winner. Single-malt scotch.... Bowmore 15. Coal Ila 10 or 12. Bunnahabhain 12. Yamazaki 18 or 12 are fabulous, but good luck finding it. Jade absinthe if you want to get really fancy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
