My favorite white is Noblio's Sauvignon Blanc. It's a nice fresh, crisp wine from New Zealand! Just picked up 2 bottles today!

[ohiosmith]

1. Gnarly Head Old Vine Zin.

[mysuzuki2]

2. Sauvignon blanc from NZ is usually very good. Try the Wairau River winery SB if you can find it.

3. The bottle of wine that somebody gave me last Christmas!

Very french. Loved it!

Second best: Reds mostly, Pinot Noirs in the middlin to low range. Keep in mind we live in Florida. We drink all varieties. Red Goliath, Castle Rock, Mirasou. Weez Po. That last one was not a brand. It was a statement.

I like Pino Grigios too.

[turtlerescue1]

4. Any.

Mirasou made a cabernet that have never tasted any to top it.

But give me that delicate pink color. Light Rose'. To my great joy, discovered Franzia's Sunset Blush. Yes, Franzia. Great for sipping in the evening.

Of course being a native Californian, still Christian Brothers and Alamaden, and Mirasou.

Liframilch, sure I misspelled it, seems to go with about any meal.

A nice Sangria laden with citrus slices go great with bar be cues.

[alarimer]

37. I like Mirasou

Their pinot noir especially.

[TrogL]

5. Box wine - the cheaper the better

Of course, that's why I was still drinking.

When you're done, you can open up the box and take out the plastic pouch. Makes a great pool toy.

[RebelOne]

7. I love the Almaden Chablis boxed wine.

I have a lot of French wines in my wine rack, but I prefer Chablis and I can only find it in the boxed wine.

[kwassa]

6. Kung Fu Girl Reisling

Washington State, Charles Smith

Full-bodied, not overly sweet like most reislings. Despite the ridiculous name, a wonderful, multi-dimensional wine.

[Arugula Latte]

8. I'm with you -- New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough. Nectar of the gods!

I also like Monkey Bay, Starborough, Oyster Bay and every other S.B. I've ever had from that region, including the Trader Joe's version, Kono.

[KamaAina]

9. Thunderbird

[pipi_k]

14. Hah!

My wine of choice back in the late 60s...along with Bali Hai

[KamaAina]

10. Fun fact: The scion of the Nobilo family played pro golf

Frank Nobilo.

[riderinthestorm]

11. Cheap summer wine: Barefoot Pinot Grigio. Cheap winter wine: Lindemann's Chardonnay

Favorite all around: Friexenet Extra Dry

[GoCubsGo]

26. I'm a Winking Owl fan.

It's Aldi's version of Two Buck Chuck, although it's actually $2.69/bottle. I've read that it's produced out of the Gallo wineries. I prefer the Cabernet Sauvignon, but they're all decent--better than some more expensive wines that I have had in the past. I am generally not a white wine fan, but, their Chardonnay is my go-to wine when when I need a white wine for some recipe. I am happy to drink the leftovers.

One of these days, I'm going to get a bottle of Gallo cab and do a comparison to see if the low-end stuff in the stores, which is 2-3 times the price, is any different than this.

[Silver Swan]

35. I also like Winking Owl!

At our Aldi, it's $2.69 a bottle. For any other store's inexpensive wine, I have to wait for a big sale, and buy six bottles to get that price!

[tjwmason]

12. Probably Chateau Neuf du Pape

In terms of what I drink most often, probably Rioja.

For white - Pouilly Fume.

[kwassa]

28. I like these, too.

[hifiguy]

13. US: Ridge Zinfandels or Monte Bello Cabernet

France: Chateau Gloria St. Julien (Bordeaux) stands out as offering a $150-250 drinking experience for about $50. Joseph Drouhin Burgundies, especially the Vosne-Romanee.

For everyday drinking nothing but nothing beats the Rosemount Diamond Label Shiraz.

And Three Buck Chuck will do in a pinch.

[pipi_k]

15. I don't always drink wine,

but when I do, it's Manischevitz Concord Grape.

Seriously.

[GoneOffShore]

16. Arggh- Lynne that's like asking what my favorite food is.

So here we go.

For cheap everyday stuff - Big House White in the box or Lindemans Cawarra (Sauvignon/Chard blend) or Big House Red

Sparkling - Gruet Blanc de Noir or Rosé (about $12 btl at Kreston Liquors on Concord Ave and Broom St) - If I can afford it and get fancy Veuve Cliquot Yellow Label NV.

Rosé - Calisanne, Fruit Innconu, Tavel, Magdalene from Cassis, Provence

White - Any white Rhone, Marigny Neuf Sauvignon

Red - Burgundy - it's all good..

And given time and the inclination I'd list a lot more.

It all depends on what I'm eating, and the weather and who we're with.

[MrMickeysMom]

17. Oh, I know!

"We've given you people all you need to know about our tax returns!, so FUCK OFF!"

[GoneOffShore]

25. DUZY!!!

[Swede]

19. I find the red wine goes well with the white wine.

[bluesbassman]

20. Does Sterno strained through a piece of Wonderbread count?

[HopeHoops]

21. Kendall Jackson Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay.

[Xolodno]

22. Crocket

Fess Parker - Crocket (A blend).

[hedgehog]

23. This summer has just been too hot and dry!

oh, not that kind of whine?

[elleng]

24. White zin:

[nolabear]

27. I like Owen Roe's Sinister Hand, a red blend. Also Gruner Veltliner

I got a kid in the industry. I gots mad wine skills.

[Baitball Blogger]

43. I'm impressed.

Can I find that at the Publix? Or does it require a special trip to the ABC?

[kwassa]

29. Viognier, Zinfandel, Cote du Rhone, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc....

various other medium-bodied reds and full-bodied whites. Pinot Noir, too.

don't do Chardonnays, except the French non-oakey ones.

[Avalux]

30. Local Goodness - Dry Comal Creek Cabernet Sauvignon

It's a light cab with a hint of cinnamon. Yummy!

[sadbear]

39. I only buy local too

That means Messina Hof, and I'm partial to their Zinfandel.

[Avalux]

44. I really like the Messina Hof Pinot Grigio

Have some waiting to be opened. There are some excellent wineries in Texas; one of my favorites is Singing Waters Vineyards, right outside of Comfort. Have to go there to get the goods since they're small but well worth it.

[Pugee]

31. Barefoot Cabernet Savignon

In fact, we are about ready to uncork a bottle!

[Enrique]

36. I am a big fan of Ravenswood

Or is it Ravenwood? Good Cab and zinfandel.

[HipChick]

38. Black Box Merlot...

[Patiod]

45. I was going to say Black Box Pinot Grigot

Or Tableleaf Merlot

[kwolf68]

40. Willamette Damnet

42. We had snapdragon last night. YUM!

Bought it at the Albertson's going out of business sale.

[hunter]

46. The software, of course...

http://www.winehq.org

Beyond that, it's hard to pick a favorite.

I'm partial to any interesting well-crafted red. I like strong flavors.

I'd probably choose beer over white wine.
