    Default Wine check!

    About six months ago I started drinking white wine and now I can't get enough. I love Rieslings and Pinot Grigios in particular. I also love a good Chardonnay. Do you prefer white or red, and which varieties do you prefer?

    I'm Italian (ancestry-wise) so I've been drinking wine the better part of my 28 years on earth - I prefer a red, though whites pair better with certain foods. I generally reach for a good Pinot Noir, Cab Sav, or Chianti Classico. Best wine I've ever had was in a small Italian town, home made wine with no sulfates so drink we did and the hangover never followed, fantastic.

    Never been a fan of white wine at all. For reds, I favor Pinot Noir, Syrah, or Merlot.

    I prefer red. I usually try to stick with Merlot, or a nice Pinor Noir. And I normally make it a point to try and buy French wine. I like B&G or Louis Jadot the most. Oh and I never drink wine without having good food to pair with it. If you don't have good food to go with your wine it's like having no apple pie to go with your vanilla ice cream.

    It all depends on what else I might be eating or doing, but on a summer day, reading out under the dappled shade, you will likely find me sipping a cold Riesling...that is if I'm drinking wine...more likely you'll find me nursing a Mojito, or a Kahlua iced latte.

    If you ever need a recommendation, its what I do for a living currently is helping people find their way around Wine, Liquor and Beer. Been selling it for the better part of 5 years.

    Love my wine - all of it but preference is red but especially Port.

    Bella try something like Sauvignon Blanc or a Semillion for something a bit different. More minerally, less sweet than the Chardonney's and more similar to the Grigio.
