OT - Attention Wine Drinkers

Ok... what is the difference between white and red wine....?  Everyone is saying i should try white?!

Red wines tend to be very bold.  Merlot's can be on the fruitier side but unless you get something like a Red Zinfandel (shivers) they are not really going to be sweet.  There are some dessert wines out there but I never cared for them and there is such a thing as being too sweet.   I would much rather have a Brandy as a dessert drink. OK..I am kind of a drink snob but I don't drink a lot so I like quality over quantity.

I'm a red wine drinker as well, I love Pinot Noir, but Gerwertzaminer is ABSOLUTLY DELICIOUS!

Rieslings are very sweet and nice. I recommend trying one of those. I also recommend not trying wine with cheese.  You will be hooked.

LOL... Im already hooked to cheese... did you mean hooked to the wine or the cheese LOL

white merlot by Sutter home or Beringer 6.99-8.99 Pinot Grigio by Santa Margarita 22.00 and up or Yellowtail 11.99 I prefer santa maragrita i don't really like dry wines but santa maragrita has a hint of sweetness but if you like sweet go for the white merlot its not real real sweet. you should check out your area for wine events so you can get a tatse and find one right for oyur pallet

Funny you should mention that... I won tickets to this HUGE wine tasting on the radio... but I was pregnant so I couldnt go so they gave me a different prize :( a video game that we ended up selling to a video game store for about $3

If you prefer something sweeter, you could try a white Zinfandel (which is actually pink).  I would have it very cold and sip, don't gulp. Jean

Hooked on cheese and wine.  the combination. I used to drink wine, but alone.  I always heard of the combination but never tried it. Then one night I'm drinking a glass (I think a Coppola Rosso) and popped some cheddar or something in my mouth and WOW, they just went together so well.  I was instantly a wine and cheese head.

wine is right up my alley il moscato - is a white sparkling wine and is sweet and has a wonderful flavor, it is usually served with desserts but I love drinking in the evening without the dessert part. Reisling whites are another good sweet wine The Reds are more dry and less sweet so I probably would stay with a white wine
