thank you.
I’ll definitely try some of those 
I think we’re going to pick up a bottle tonight. The gf said they talked a lot about German wines today, so I think we’re gonna grab that first, and give her some of the names of the ones you guys mentioned. I think she told me I should try a dessert wine too. I’m sure I’m not used to them just yet, I usually just have a Sky vodka+anything when I drink, which isn’t often. Beer took a long time to acquire, and still doesn’t settle every now and then because of fermentation.
Have Meg ask Lorraine about what to try. If you give her a bit of a description of what you like and dont like, she’ll rattle off 20 things to try. She’s awesome like that.

Might be because your drinkin cheap beer, try gettin a pint of delirum tremens or some kind of crafted ale or beer(lambics). Lambics are like the wine of beer they tend to go down smoother and are generally made with some nature of fruit.

Merlot, Cheraz, Cabernet are good red wines. Thats all I drink when I go out to a bar. Doesnt make you feel like shit afterwards.

ehh theres some good Niagara-on-the-lake wines
but most people in ny think of bully hill and shit like that, thats what i was referring to as shit
[quote=“RedDawg,post:10,topic:26524"”]
try boones farm brand, it is by far the smoothest and goes down easiest with a delightful fruity taste. Its almost impossible to find in restaurants but your local Mobil or Sunoco should have it.

LOL
the biggest thing with wine is just keep trying new things, eventually you’ll build a better pallate and you’ll be able to pick out certain flavors and characteristics of wines. then go from there. generally people go from light/sweet and work their way up.
lol @ boones… i dont even classify that as wine…

Dude, just can it. Are you just regurgitating something you read in a fruity wine magazine or something? NY wines win international awards and accolades every year and has become known as a truly world-class wine producing region. I don’t care what single winery you may or may not have been referring to, but saying NY wine is shit is just plain ignorant.
i’m not a HUGE fan of wine…but i am going to Napa Valley in a couple weeks to do some wine tasting and take some tours.

I’d love to go on one. Some coworkers mentioned a finger lakes thing when you handed in your car keys, went on the tour, then camped out for the night, which of course meant staying up all night with tons of people by a fire with plenty of intoxicating wines. They said it was an absolute blast,so I’m making sure I go this year.

nice job name dropping, you lost credibility by including fat bastard in that group though.
If your ever in North Buffalo this is a great place to go
http://www.chateaubuffalo.com/
Its located right on hertel ave, you basically can taste 5 different wines at a time for 5 bucks. Its a great deal and kinda fun, plus you get to taste before you buy.
