Today is National Wine Day

If you drink wine, what kind is your favorite? When I'm in the mood, I will drink a bottle of Roscato.

Why does there have to be a day for everything? This is so annoying. I just can’t stand it sometimes. A day for this a day for that. Who gets to make these days up? I wish I could. Why can’t we just have a normal day?

Oh, and my neighbor’s dog, it’s alway barking. Plus, it’s just too hot outside.

Am I doing national wine day correctly?

Seems you need more wine

I believe it's whine not wine ...LOL

Apothic Dark is my favorite wine to have on hand.

Afraid not, havent had a drink for thirty years or more don't miss it maybe when I am older say eighty might start boozing again, who knows?

@Sheannutt I 'm already 70 so thought 80 might just do the trick and keep me off the booze!

@Sheannutt somewhere in there I forgot to say I was alcoholic whoops!

My favorite grocery store brand is Mark West Pinot Noir. I also like the two buck chuck at Trader Joe's but it recently went up to three bucks.

Oh yeah, I love 2 buck chuck from TJ's. But it is a 2 hr drive to the closest TJ's that sells wine

I finished a bottle of Mark West Pinot noir recently. My regular is the Mirassou but I thought I would try something different. Mirassou still wins; I think it's a bit smoother.

@poetdi56 I like both.

@poetdi56 I'll have to get a bottle.

It's also universal towel day! I prefer a dark blue one. 🙂

In order of preference:
Zinfandel
Red Blends
Pinot Noir
Viongnier
Dessert wines (Ports or other)

More specifically, my favorite wine right now is from a Lodi, CA vintner called Berghold Estates. They have two Zins I love; Crankcase, and Footstomp. I like other Zins too, from other makers that have quite different characteristics. 7 Deadly Zins from Michael & David, another Lodi winery, is very good, and quite affordable.

I learned how to make my own out of Welches grape juice. I just corked another 5 bottles yesterday....for less than $2 a bottle. It's hard to keep up with (my) demand....

What!!?? ? Red blends

Awesome!

Gin 😉

I love a nice, dry Merlot.

Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon. Trader Joe's Charles Shaw (formerly Two, now Three Buck Chuck) is good, and Lidl's Sierra Pines is an even better deal. Aldi's Winking Owl, not so much. Its chardonnay is virtually flavorless.

Roscatto...My Favorite!!!

Awesome!

Strawberry Hill.... rot gut stuff.

Boone's Farm! lol

@balou. Yep....nasty good...lol.

When is Scotch Whisky Day?

every day at my house 😉

There is so much good wine, I am no expert, but I like drinking wine. That is for sure. I will go for Brunello di Montalcino.

I used to prefer a good Cabernet Sauvignon from South Africa but after living in South America for a few years I developed a taste for the Malbecs and the Carmeneres from Argentina and Chile.
Since it is now summer in Canada we will be switching over to Chardonnays, Sauvignon Blancs and Fumee' Blancs with a reserve for some of the Spanish sparkling whites and the Portuguese Vino Verdes.

I would say, after considerable consideration, that my favorite wine is beer.

I like a good merlot. But mostly I prefer gin.

I have my towel to hand.

White: Chardonnay
Red: Cabernet or Merlot or Petite Shiraz

3

I understand the "Two Buck Chuck" at Trader Joe's is reportedly good.

Now Three but still good.

Zinfidel.

Merlot gal here, although I won't turn down a nice Shiraz. I'm lucky to live in an area where there are several wineries.
