Wine Recommendation

Dashken · 18th Mar 2007, 11:13 PM

Any wine lover here?

I love cheap wines (can't afford expensive ones) and smooth ones and those which is not so dry and sour.

Any recommended ones? Maybe around $8-$15.

There's one I'm sticking to at the moment which is cheap and smooth for me, St. Joseph.

I'd love to make wine tasting a hobby but this is too expensive to be made as one, for me at least.

Please do share your favourites, preferably with pictures.

I for myself am not into wine nor any other alcohol,
but we do serve, for example, those three for friends ...
I don't know how they taste but our guests like them
and most of them do know "how wine should taste". ^^

l.t.r:

Rivaner, Beerenauslese, Weingut Walzer, EUR 23.56
Schilcher, Spätlese, Weingut Strohmaier, EUR 8.87
Riesling Kabinett, Kremser Kobl, Weingut Walzer, EUR 9.99

PS: I dun even know if they're sold outside of Austria, but ...

If it's available there, try Sol de Espana. It's a bit dry and sour but definitely sweet. And very cheap too!

For me my favorite is the California Zinfandel (The one I had was a 98 Fetzer Valley Oaks Zinfandel it cost like 8 Pound Sterling), I remember it as rich, fruity with a smell of oak. I can hardly find any here. Did manage to get one from a warehouse sale from another wine maker a 96 one.

Umm.. for wine around that range, i think u can try Penfolds, they have quite a wide range, even the affordable range doesn't taste that bad. It's quite smooth.
