Any suggestions for a good wine to have with a nice candlelit dinner before some room shaking sex?

Reds or whites, doesn't matter. Just curious what you all prefer.

I'm a sucker for a good Pinot Grigio, or a deep Pinot Noir.

I recently had some red wine that I loved. It is not this one but if you read the description it is very similar to the one that I had. The characteristics were much like this wine. It was truly devine.

Chilean, South African and Australian are my faves.

I usually get White Zinfandel..it's smooth and not to dry..and makes your knees quiver after you've finished a big bottle. :D

(Zinfandel is a red grape but its juice is white. By putting the juice in contact for a short while with the skins, it creates a blush color.)



Another of my favs is SawMill Creek..Canadian product.

(Sawmill Creek is a rich, well balanced wine with the distinctive bouquet and complex lingering taste that is typical of fime Chardonnays. It is a dry wine with a crisp clean finish complemented by subtle oak aging.)

Both those wines are panty removers for me! :D :D

I have a fondness for German whites.

I oft-enjoy a bottle of Chateau de Blitz. ….. Perhaps a little something from the vintage “Thursday”?:D

seeing that I am in the finger lakes area in NY I like the local wines here. I'm partial to a Pinot Noir or a nice Cabernet Sauvignon (sp?). The wine in this area has come a long way from what it was even as shortly as 7 or 8 years ago (though not all of it, there is still a good amount of swill). Now some of them are as good, if not better, than some of the good California wines.

Pahrump Valley Vineyards "Symphony". Nice, light and sweet.

Figures I would find this after I posted about wines in another forum, but I really enjoy the brand YellowTail, from Australia. They are making some great wines down under. Try Yellow Tails Chardonay. Of course, you can always try Ecco Domani Pinot Grigio, but I find the YellowTail much smoother...and it can be licked from the body...=)


Try joining a ine of the month club. It made a great gift for my wife, who loves wine. She received 2 bottles a month, and each month they sent a different variety, with a little history of it. We have tried quite a nice variety, and found ones we like and dont like, white and red. And shop around on price, we found quite a difference in prices.

I agree with skipthisone for my most favourite wines, a Burglayer Schlosskapel, from the Nahr River valley, in a blue bottle; and an Ice wine, both from Peiroth Wines.

Otherwise it's a good Aussie white wine, or a Tunisian Rose.

You might check out the following web site ... lots of good information about wines and wine/food pairings. Hope it helps.

Loved the link DB!

Cobalt and I just recently discovered a German Riesling - Schmitt Sohne which runs about $10-$12 per bottle. Very smooth, not bitter, and with just a hint of sweet that isn't overpowering. I don't really go by the red, white, blush theory about pairing wines with food... if I like it, I will drink it no matter what I am eating.. ;) .

Chey I buy that wine too! I love the blue bottle. It is great with desserts and even with fowl. My kitchen window is filled with various sized, colored bottles and when the sun comes through it makes gorgeous reflections.

[Cheyanne]

LOL - I was initially attracted to the wine by the blue bottle!!! I am starting to collect blue glass... <grins> and <blushes> at the thought of the wine officionados (sp?) horrified expressions of buying wine for color of the bottle.. LOL

However, I was pleasantly suprised by the wine. I enjoy a good Reisling - so I truly didn't believe that the wine would be awful, so the benifit of it being in a blue bottle was just gravy.. :D

[Lilith]

I was like fuck how it tastes, the bottle is pretty and if all else fails I can cook with it :p

Great minds...:D

[pinkbutton]

U want to try a white wine called devils rock i think its australian but very very nice. Its quite dry though

[blastpdb]

A nice German Ice Wine or an Italian Moscato D'Asti.

Chey~

I get to my grandma's for Thanksgiving and she has these bottles sitting in the front window... LMAO the HUGE one is our blue wine bottle and about 2 feet tall. I almost died laughing. I thought of you and I, and what a mess we would make if we consumed that bottle together:p

[Cheyanne]

LOL LOL LOL :p Too funny... yep a good time would be had!

Isn't that strange how everyday stuff will remind us of the people of Pixies? I was trying to find a certain shade of lipstick the other day and ran across a beautifu shade of red (not for me) and the instant I saw it, I thought of you Lilith - don't know why..... lol

Cobalt and I love that wine so much we must have at least 5 bottles now.. (will soon have more). I hate to turn them back for the deposit cause I love the bottle. Been thinking about investing in a glass cutter and making different height vases.. or something.. lol

Must have been "cum-fuck-me" red :D


I use those bottles to start plants rooting in the kitchen and laundry room windows.
