Nobody is able to evaluate all the wines available in this world, but most people still has favorites that they buy when they eat out or shop at their favorite supermarket. Mine happens to always be "red" cab or merlot. I liked the shiraz in Southern Australia, and the reds in Germany. Although I can also enjoy ice wine, it's a bit expensive.
@cicerone imposter,
I've never been much of a drinker because I couldn't handle the hangover. I learned from a waitress/girlfriend (94th Aero Squadron. The entrance was the rear of an airplane and the waitresses wore short nurse's uniforms and white hose) Do I digress, or what? Where was I? Oh. I learned that white wine didn't cause a hangover for me. For me, the sweeter, the better. Once in a while I get a bottle of blackberry wine. I also like merlot.
@cicerone imposter,
I tried some ice wine at a resort in St. Michaels just recently......it was very sweet and reminded me of honey.....unfortunately I'm not fond of maple or honey.
But I do like red wines. Our waiter the first night brought us a Pinot Noir, Talbott, Logan from Sleepy Hollow Vineyard...which was very nice.......but I'm not a wine expert...just liked it.
@glitterbag,
I think Sleepy Hollow Vineyard is in California.
@glitterbag,
If we like the wine, being an 'expert' doesn't make much difference AFAIC. It's the same with cigars, my favorite is the Partagas D4's made in Cuba. My travel buddy and I visited their factory in Havana, but that was many moons ago. The first time we drank ice wine was during our tour of Germany. They served us a small portion that we had to pay for. I think it was $3.50 for a small shot glass. It's a labor intensive wine, so the cost is usually higher than the average cost of table wines that most of us are accustomed to. Canada also produces ice wine. It's my understanding that their quality is comparable to the ones in Germany; right climate, right soil.
@cicerone imposter,
wine is bad thing for health
@sakshirathor12,
No, wine is a sign God loves us and wants us to be happy.
@sakshirathor12,
Sak, Read up on the benefits of red wine. One benefit? Live longer healthier life. Everything in moderation.
@cicerone imposter,
Another benefit? It some red wines are mighty tasty.
@tsarstepan,
My choices are cabs or merlot. Had some very good reds in Southern Australia, the Barberossa area.

Love Syrahs or Shiraz; Merlot, and many peppery reds.
