Never liked wine. To me, it tastes like exactly what it is: rotten grapes. :P

I don't mind champagne every great once in a while. One thing I can tell you, though.......it does not mix with beer very well at all. :wink: I did that years ago, and I never blew chunks so violently in my life.

My favorite red is Malbec. I also really like Merlot and Sangiovese. I don't drink enough to have a favorite vinyard, I usually buy a bottle based on the reviews they have at the store, and one's that have won awards.

I don't drink too much white wine, but I like a good Riesling once in a while. I also like Prairie Fume', which is made just down the road from me.

A great white is Pouilly Fume - similar to a Chablis but much better for the same price. Very highly recommended.

We have a house in France so the wine is dirt cheap and I've drunk loooads of the stuff. I spend most of my time over there in a haze of cheese wine and coffee. I must admit though, I don't drink the stuff in England preferring a Carlsberg instead but when I'm on the continent wine just goes with the atmosphere.
Red wine especially the Australian and NZ wines are just way to heavy.

House in France? Summer house in Michigan, even? This forum is passing out of my league.

Anyhow -- what wine goes best with a nice, mellow snus, not very dry but not too sweet?

[Nicobuzz]

TBH I don't think wine and snus go - certainly not for me. Snus and beer however match perfectly.

I have a second residence on the Michigan lake shore, wine country at it's finest. I have had many good ones from St. Julian,

Red and blue Huron are very poplular with the wife. We usually pick a case up every summer.

I have Blue Heron in my fridge right now. Awesome, my place is down the road from the tasting room.

Yellow Tail (I think it's that, has a kangaroo on front) is what the cool kids drink around this area.


Cheap, and they're all "We're cool, drinking wine, and it's got a 'Roo on it! Holla!"



ie: I need new friends.
