For the Wine and Champagne Connnoisseurs

[eiddyfouw]

My Sister is coming back to the States for Christmas on Monday from France.


Her and my mother toured the Veuve Champagne House in Reims, France this past year.


My mother wasn't too impressed with the tour/process.

The case the bottle came in was the coolest part.

My girl just picked up our lil fridge too...

Could you guys recommend a nice, inexpensive white wine¿

Depends on what type of white wine you would like. If you want to impress, and do something different that won't break the bank. A favorite of mine to pick up is...

What does that Moet taste like? I have never drank champagne in my life but looking for something to get for NYE. Maybe sweet and smooth not anything dry.

what he said.....

I am confused every time I enter a wine store or purchase some bubbly .... I tend to feel like eh, they are all the same, but clearly they are not.

I will def be picking up some grower produced selections.

If you haven't already, can you perhaps give me three choices, with a price limit of $100 ... I wouldn't know how to fully appreciate anything that cost more than that LOL not yet.

Thanks!

This is a good choice on dessert wine. It's a Port, so it is very sweet and really wouldn't go well with the main courses, but is a good compliment to chocolates and pastries at the end of the night. Plus it's 19% alcohol.

I like sweet tasting wines so I'm eager to try this.

I mentioned a couple in the following post:

^ Charles Heidsieck is great, I believe they use around 40% reserve wine which really sets them apart from most big houses. If you want to try some Grower, these are in the same price range as the Heidsieck and I think these shops are in SoCal

$65.99
$62.99
$59.99
$56.99
$49.99

These producers are a great place to start.

(The broken 59.99 link is the 2004 Gaston Chiquet Special Club)

I do NOT drink wine but I have always wondered the logic behind "dry" wine. How exactly does a liquid taste dry?

Or is that a phrase that one person in history used and people started using it after them even though it is hard to explain?

Much like how people like saying how any new 2K game feels "organic."

Dry wine isnt sweet.


Its good with meals.

I've never drunk any wine but a patient gave me a bottle of red as a gift - he said it was decent and he has good taste.

Don't know if it's all wine but it went down like gasoline. I slept really well though so I'm finishing it now mixed with Coke!

I guess it's an acquired taste?

 

[SC kid]

Mixed wit coke lol.

Savage.

Drink it wit a steak.

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

Wine & Coke what

 

[illphillip]

Just pour some juice in that **** and make a poor man's sangria.

I can't even see Coke in that ****

 

[gentrification]

I don't know about coke but they do mix wine with something carbonated.

 

[kdawg]

Hey, it's all I had!

Had a side of cool original Doritos too. It's been a classy evening.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Konnan you are trippin man

Honestly Armand De Brignac (Ace Of Spades) is the best I've tasted. Pretty much everyone I shared it with agreed.

For cheaper champagnes I usually pick Veuve Clicquot Rosé. I like Moët as well but Clicquot is just a tad better imo.

Haven't tried the Moët Nectar Rosé though, can't seem to find any stores carrying it where I live.

 

[SC kid]

Oh u fancy huh.

It is a pretty popular drink I have found out. My girl and her sister drink it sometimes

I have tried it, not too bad. I have no idea what type of wine they use doe.

Used to drink the Nectar Rose all the time. Loved that stuff. Never had the other two for comparison

"Dry" refers to the sugar content of the wine. A ton of people misuse this term for wines high in tannins which leave your mouth with a dried out feeling.
