I’ve been on a white wine kick recently, mainly Rieslings. Anyone have any suggestions? ---

Both my wife and my mother are way into wines, I’ll ask for a few suggestions. My mother has a little plastic wine bottle that holds information on thousands of wines digitally, including reviews…makes trying something new less of a shot in the dark…I’ll get you that info as well. ---

I really like the Robert Mondavi 2004 Merlot and 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2002 Robert Mondavi Napa Valley/Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon is really really good, but at 50 a bottle (if you can find it) it’s a bit pricey. [http://www.cellartracker.com/wine.asp?iWine=177958](http://www.cellartracker.com/wine.asp?iWine=177958) [http://www.winebid.com/buy\_wine/item\_details.aspx?ItemId=2616680-R3788](http://www.winebid.com/buy_wine/item_details.aspx?ItemId=2616680-R3788) If you like white/sweet, try Gewurztraminer and Leibfraumilch. Valkenburg Gewurztraminer is actually not bad. In a pinch, get some 2 Buck Chuck over at Trader Joe’s. ---

German Whites, A good Spatlese. or, if you can find one an Auslese is kick ass. That’s if you like a sweeter white. If you like that pucker up dry shit, then you won’t like Germans… ---

I friggen love Reisling, but I don’t know enough about “why” I do to give explanation. I just kind of “like what I like”. If you have a weekend, go up to the finger lakes area of NY and do a wine tasting tour. You’ll be hammered by the end of the day. But they actually have many award-winning reislings up there because I guess everything about the area is perfect for that. Really nice area, and not too expensive. Really good “get away” with the wife/girl/whatever. ---

I’m into wines, but same deal, I don’t know how to explain the ones I like. I like White Merlot, and can’t stand any of the dry red wines I’ve tasted. I’d like to learn more, and would love to goto Napa Valley/Wine Country. Ever seen the movie “Sideways?” ---

Really good “get away” with the wife/girl/whatever. my boss goes up there…hes actually headed up there next weekend. theres a wine he was just telling me about today thats about $20 bucks a bottle…and the best white he’s ever had. ill get the name for you when he gets back… just a heads up…in ny when you buy a case you get a discount… f.e. he gets a bottle of red wine: retail $13/bottle. if you buy the case the bottle price goes to $10.40 but it you were to buy it in pgh…theres no “case” discount and an automatic 18% tax and then the sales tax…so it turns into $16.41/bottle ---

Chateau Ste. Michelle is a good “cheap” Riesling. i prefer the spaltese whites, they are much sweeter due to the late harvest of the grapes. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/any-wine-snobs/199987.md?page=2)
