Chardonnay for sure ... the drier the better!

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

I like dry red wine -  Merlot's often a good choice.  But I'm a whiskey snob;  wine's for dinner parties,  whiskey's for when it matters, when drinking alone.

Zinfandel, though I rarely drink it or any wine since my boone farm days.

No Pinot Noir?  No Viognier?  No Syrah (or Shiraz, if you prefer)?  For shame!

I'm drinking a charming Argentine Syrah at the moment -- a bit heavier than the typical California Syrah or Aussie Shiraz.

Given the options, I've have vote for Pinot Noir and Viognier.

So many wines missing, those from the days of my youth, Ripple, Thunderbird, Spanada, sadly my dad's favorite Cold Duck and more to date Two Buck Chuck!

I like wine but cannot drink it without searing heartburn pain, unfortunately. Beer and alcohol does not give me the same effect.   **nononono*

Try drinking your vino with a product called "Prelief" -- it takes the acid out of foods and liquids.

Okay: either there are no voting buttons on this poll, or I'm drunk. Or both.

Thanks. I was worried that the antifreeze was messing with my vision.

Wine is for people who drink but like to pretend they don't have a drinking problem. I know I do so I get right to business with scotch. If I'm forced to drink wine, I like to stick with fortified bum wines...

Well, well, we do agree on some items, @Jazzhead!

Ah...The classics!  It don't get much.... er, better than Wild Rose.  She will run all up inside your brain. Take a bunch of brain cells and leave you with wet jeans and a real bad headache.

Oops, I should have said, "No Malbec?" I like a bit, now and then. Syrah will do, though.

I once tried to make dandelion wine, using a recipe from a little Swiss-settled village in W.Va.
It was awful.
