Sounds like Canada :snax:

I love red wine, but white goes down much smoother. Growing up, I can only remember drinking Châteauneuf-du-Pape. So that's my go to red, but I'm too cheap to get anyway.

Box wines are the way to go.

I love the reds, not super tannin-ey though!

We just bottled 30 bottles of Beaujolais Nouveau last weekend. Next we are making a Cots-du-Rhone. :love:

Whut? Aren't those regional denominations?

I love the tannins, can't stand the oaky-ness of most french wines though.

I actually find that the California wines are a lot more drenched in oak than the french ones nowadays. That's more or less why I stopped drink California reds and chardonnay. If I want liquid wood, I'll drink a tawny port.

I fucking love Cotes du Rhone, Cotes du Rousillon and Coteaux du Languedoc.

I love those too bro!!! That's why I LOVE making my own, so I can control EXACTLY how much oak I put in. Got it down perfectly too!

Yeah, those are regional, so you have to know the special name they use for each kind to find it here. For example Cotes du Rhone is Vieux Cateau du Roi. Beaujolais Nouveau is Gamay Nouveaux, etc. etc.

As much as I want to rep my hometown wines in the Napa Valley, I still think the best wines I've ever had were the Chiantis I had while I was in Florence back in January. Plus when you're there it's cheap and plentiful.

Wine is my favourite drink, but I'm not picky at all. The last stuff I had was Frey Natural Red... 'cause it's super cheap. It was really good and will get you drunk.

I like my wine to be a bit on the sweet side without too much of an alcohol taste. Outside of that... yeah.

I should take a picture of my sister's cellar. She has to have 500-600 bottles at least!

Just picked up a Coteaux du Languedoc for T'anksgivin dinner tomorrow. I am going to get my family to drink some decent wine if I have to bludgeon them all over the head with it.
