    • Wine was mentioned in another thread so I thought I'd open up one just for favorite wines.

    I prefer wines from small, local wineries.  Every state I go to I look for a local wine.

    In NC there is Huffman Vineyards.  Their Carolina Sunshine is a nice white table wine although it is a bit on the sweet side but since I do not like dry wines it suits me.

    I don't have a favorite red, but I do like Merlot.

    Anyone else have a favorite small winery?

    I'm pretty sure every state has one. Even Alaska.

    I'm not picky about wine. I just buy the cheap stuff. Like the Charles Shaw ("3 buck chuck") wine that's sold at Trader Joes.

    I think I told you this before, but my father is one of those arrogant wine connoisseurs. Not a complete wannabe: he has a fairly large cellar and travels to taste wine. I'm more like you, in fact I drink table wine almost on principle.

    Yes, I remember. Some people have taste buds that can detect a dramatic difference in quality between wines.

    Fortunately, for my wallet, I'm not one of them!

    • Italy has lots of good cheap wines. My wife is the fussy one, she's Spaniard, personally, if it's wet and red and has booze in it, I am all over it. In Catholic moderation, of course.

    • I'll admit, I can be snobby about wine.

    We order cases from Lanthier Winery in Indiana for the holidays and a couple times throughout the year. It's great wine, but pretty affordable.

    • Speaking of wine, I just got a new wine making kit in the mail. If all goes well we'll be drinking mulberry wine in a couple months! Next is wild plum.

    If anyone says that true and natural water is not necessary for baptism and thus twists into some metaphor the words of our Lord Jesus Christ" Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit" (Jn 3:5) let him be anathema.

    • With Port, the more you pay the better it gets. 25 bucks will get you a nice bottle.

    • There's a variety of spiced wine in Quebec known as Caribou. Heartening during the winter.

    Here's a homestyle recipe for a poutine 'typiquement Quebecoise':

    -potato wedges
    -white cheese curds
    -petit pois
    -foie gras gravy

    Wash that down with mulled wine.

    • I usually drink Italian wine, preferably red.

    However, during my visits to Eastern Europe, I drank typical red wine from towns that had the same name: Melnik.

    I'm not sure if this wine is exported but it was great to the palate.

    • Stones' Ginger Wine!

    My husband used to make all his own wines using whatever fruit was plentiful/cheap. Mango, pawpaw, banana, orange, even grapes. We found the best was pineapple. It was like a sparkling champagne.

    Nowadays he buys 5 litre casks which are very economical and keep because they remain airtight. http://www.aussieliquor.com.au/showProduct/Wine/Casks+5+Litre/9310578501337
    We're not wine snobs and cheap can be just as good.
