Wine drinkers here?

"Cheers! Napa Valley is a great place, in the country and only 30min from one of the best cities in the world. I tend to avoid the lake during this season because it's so crazy packed with people".

We were flying around the lake in float planes so the traffic was nice to look at. Women, boats, and hot weather are a sexy combination.

I made two batches last year. One with honey hops and ginger and the other with honey and cactus fruit. The cactus mead came out real sweet and the other like a dry white...pretty interesting process! Alchohol levels on both are way up there.

After seeing all those delicious burgers in the other thread, I got to thinking how many of you drink wine and what kind?

Burgers are my favorite kind of food out there and I have been trying to pair them with wine.

The absolute best wine to go with burgers of any kind is Yagu Red Sangria, a pitcher full and then you put about 4 ounces of Everclear in it. :D
 
Sorry... not I... its a little too refined for the MrCoffee Institute for the Socially Unacceptable...
 
I want to get a bottle of Lucid Absinthe and a bottle of Dom Perignon, a fine Sham-pon-yah. :D

Instead of dripping cold water over the sugar cube in an Absinthe Spoon, you drip iced Sham-pon-yah over the sugar cube until the Absinthe is cloudy. That was Hemingway's afternoon cocktail he called, "The Death in The Afternoon Cocktail." :D
 
Red wine, a nice spicy cab or shiraz always hits the spot. One of my all time favorite wines is cheap as dirt (contrary to popular belief, good wine doesn't have to cost a lot), its the woodbridge cab.
 
I like the syrah grape by a number of makers. The Siduri Pinot Noir is one of my all time favorites. I tried a white merlot by Beringer that was pretty good.(cheap and easy to find)
I agree, you don't have to spend alot of money to get a good tasting bottle of wine.
 
Just got back from a trip over to Walla Walla, Wa. It is a up and coming wine area. For us Washingtonians it is like our Napa. Great wines, Great small town!!!!
 
Oregon has some of the best wines out there. Some of my favorites are from a local vineyard named Montinore.
All females must stop reading here.
One of their best products is their Pinot Noir Chocolate Sauce. Poured over things like strawberry cheesecake it is deadly!!!
 
Chocolate Sauce with flavored with wine. Trust me, one taste and you're hooked!

Another home brewmeister here.
Have been fermenting my own beverages for over ten years.

Wine, beer, meade, fruit wine (strawberry, blueberry).

Enjoy the process of making it almost as much as I enjoy drinking it.

Salud!

Big wine fan here. As far as regular wines go I'm a big fan of Chateau Neuf du Pape, though the cost means I don't get to have it often. Other favorites are Gewurztraminer, Riesling, and Pinot Noir. However I'm even more a fan of fortified wines and desert wines, such as Port,, Sherry, Ice Wine, and Muscat. I have a bottle of vintage port that's as old as my fiancee. We plan on having it on our wedding. ;)
 
I like wine a lot, particularly reds. Nothing like a good Shiraz, (which, coincidentally, I'm sipping right now.), or Shiraz blend.

Fortunately for me I'm in Oz where some of the best Shiraz on the planet is produced. Even more fortunately I live in the middle of cool climate wine country and some of the wineries around here produce some outstanding wines. Yet more fortunately there are two winemakers within 15 minutes drive of my place that make fantastic wines, one of them has been experimenting with blending some Shiraz with a few grape types not normally seen in Oz shops.

I wish I could afford a few cases of this, I'm sure you've heard of it. :)
