I'm getting back into the Spanish wines. As I say I drink largely whites in summer, but I've yet to have a bad Tempranillo and having another right now...
Try a Rias Baixas Albarino ... a Spanish white. Fairly dry with a nice crisp taste. Not too acidic or grapefruity. Prices range from $11 - $20.
can anyone recommend a red wine that is very sweet? i've been trying to find a red wine because of the resveritol that is reported to be good for you, but, most seem very dry or bitter to me. any suggestions? i really like anything by arbor mist but i've been told that it isn't really wine. or as someone phrased it "it's the soda pop of wine".
St. James Winery Velvet Red. Way too sweet for me, but some of my friends love it. Missouri wine.
i like wine but lately i'm not liking what i get. maybe im moving on to different tastes/flavors?? i will look for Sonoma County wine next time.
I've discovered that the more wine I drink, the more dry I prefer them. I like white wines and started with sweet Riesling and white Zin but can't abide them now...I like several kinds of Pinot Grigio-Ecco Domani is pretty good and easy to find but there are a couple I like better. NOT a fan of Bella Sera.

First, FYI you can buy bottles of "juice" or non-alcoholic wine with resveritol FYI.
But while Arbor Mist is wine, yeah it is a 'soda pop wine' and precisely because it's so sweet. But hey if you like it, so what? ie are you drinking for the health benefits and/or general enjoyment or to impress people?
What's your favorite wine? Two categories: any price and affordable (under 20).
Any: Red Burgundy especially Grand Cru (duh) from Cote du Nuits
Too bad I can almost never afford it. I went to Burgundy for my honeymoon and fell in love with the wine. Amazing, intoxicating, ultracomplex. Since coming back to the US I've bought a few bottles in the $50 range but these were mostly disappointing. Only good ones I've had have been at tastings and those are 200+ per bottle.
Affordable: Rioja
Seems like 2005 was a good year. I have never been disappointed by dropping $20 on a reserva rioja from 2005.
