Wine Help

Hey City,

As much as I dislike alcohol there is something different about a glass of wine to relax I feel. This weekend I will be turning 21 (Finally) and I plan on getting a bottle of wine (or two or three cause I have Monday and Tuesday off from work). Obviously I'm not wasting my 21st all on wine but I like wine more than I like hard liqour or beer.

The problem I have is I do not know much about wine and what to look for when selecting a wine-

So I fugured theres gotta be someone here who knows wine who can tell me what I should look for- or if anyone has any suggestions let me know....

*Bump*

People of GrassCity- are you telling me not one of you know's anything about wine?

Thats cool if it's true..... But I know better, someone here has to have the knowledge

Well, this all comes down to personal choice. You could find a Binny's and have them give you tastes of different wines and then pick the one you like the most.

Personally, for me, theres nothing like a nice dry red wine.. Preferrably a Chianti or Merlot. I have had most of my wine in Canada since I could drink there and went to a few wine tastings.. I should have written down the names of some wines, but I didnt. (Blast!)

For a more fruity texture, you could try and find a decent Zinfandel, o rpink Zinfandel, but there are some very very nice dry whites out there. If you like a mroe fruity taste to your wine, check the label or ask someone at the store.. For a dry red, I reccomend picking up a bottle of aged Chianti.. (At least 5 or 6 years old, more if you can)..

This is just a layman's guide, but I'll be ringing up Hannibal Lecter for you shortly as he can choose a wine like no other.

"I ate his liver with some Fava beans and a nice Chianti."

Perhaps a Chablice Blanc? A bit on the tavish side for taste with liver.. But the aroma adds a nice touch.

Haha! I merely kid.
