> [@Shockwave179](#): > > Truth > > Everyone has different tastes, the key is to go out and try a lot of different stuff to figure out what you like. The process is never ending, you can taste wine everyday (which I do) and go through thousands of wines a year. Then when the next vintage comes out, you have to start all over again. I take wine as an education and a life-long project. ---

I dislike reds for the most part. Bully Hill has a cheap sweet blush that I like, I don’t know the name but it has a sun on the label. For the most part I enjoy dry white wines ice cold. ---

Dr. H. Thanisch Bernkasteler Doctor Riesling Spatlese, 2004. ![http://www.canalsliquors.com/germany_alsace-images/BernkastDoctorRiesSpat.png](http://www.canalsliquors.com/germany_alsace-images/BernkastDoctorRiesSpat.png) In 2004, i could get it for 7 dollars a bottle… a year later it was 40/bottle. Now I can’t find it anywhere… It was easily the best riesling that I’ve ever had, and I would still pay 40/bottle for it. ---

I’ve heard that really expensive wine tastes like ass. Don’t worry about price. Given how fucked the economy is, the local aspect of an economy is more important than ever, so I’d recommend going somewhere local. Hot apple wine with mulling spices, including the recipe from becker farms, could make for a nice gift. Tasty too. I hear from the wine snobs that niagara wineries don’t offer the best wines, but I like them and giving a gift of wine is all about character. Nothing like local charm. ---

Redcat is a good cheap wine. its like 15 for a bottle, and i dont think it tastes too bad, but then again ive never had expensive wine. pretty sure its a rochester based wine too girls like it. lol ---

2 words: Argentine reds. If anyone is interested in trying something new/different, try a Malbec or Bonarda from Mendoza or Patagonia. These are some of my new favorite wines. After my visit to Argentina in July, I was absolutely hooked on these wines.
