Your favorite wine

What's your favorite wine? You can specify several if you want.
My favorite red wine is a Collioure (South West of France), but no specific brand. I like the red fruits and spices taste. It goes very well with dark chocolate.

My favorite white wine is Kendall Jackson Chardonnay.
I've written a short article on that one: www.leblogdelamirabelle.net/article-28468945.html
Every time I come to the USA, I'm hunting for a discounted bottle

Have you heard about all the pesticides they found in some wines (a lot of wines actually).
Organic is really the way to go!

I love a good Sancerre. I also love a good Meritage. Or Bordeaux.

Also Malbecs and Pinot Noirs. Ok, darn it, I just love it all.

I can't say I am very educated about wine though.

If you need any Colorado wine recommendations, I'm happy to share.

  Sure! I won't find them here but on my next visit to the US, I'll try to taste some of them.

  At the risk of being a broken record, I have to go with a Plum Creek red:

Unlike just about everyone, my favorite white is wine.appellationamerica.com/grape-varietal/Pinot-Blanc.html . I used to always keep a bottle of Mirassou Pinot Blanc on hand, but I can't lay hands on an unmixed bottle of the stuff anywhere in town, from any winery. I may be reduced to ordering on-line. [sigh]

Kendall Jackson is good for a large commercial vineyard, but I think its a little overpriced. For that price, from a large California vineyard, I would rather get La Crema Chardonnay.

Lyeth Meritage is my standby bottle and I love CMS reds.

  Yes it's overpriced. I buy it only when it's discounted, but it's the best Chardonnay I know But I will try La Crema.

I like a nice Bordeaux like a claret but any red is fine by me I just don't like sweet wine. If I have a white I like a very dry crisp white like a Riesling or a white Rioja, I usually only drink a white with fish or chicken though and wouldn't drink one on its own.

I like a nice Pinot Grigio, but lately I've been really into Rieslings. I've got a bottle of Gewerstreminer (spelled totally wrong) chilling in the fridge. Normally I'm kind of a red girl in the fall/winter - i'll take a shiraz or merlot or syrah, and a white girl in the spring/summer: a savignon blanc or pinot or riesling.

I'm not a red wine fan, but Rabbit Ridge Syrah is lovely.

I like reislings for whites.

Here in South Africa, my husband likes a South African shiraz (syrah) called Porcupine Ridge.
