Wine Enthusiasts

[Guest StuckOnStupid]

I am drinking some wine, and I like the wine. The wine did not cost very much money, but since I discovered it one year ago, it has been pretty much the BEST wine you can get for under $30 to 40 bucks a bottle. It is called "Mezzomondo Negroamaro Rosso Salento 2005".

The wine is very dark red...almost black in the glass.

Sweet, spicy, vanilla nose.

The wine is quite smooth, spicy, good cherry and raspberry fruit, tangy acidity, light vanilla.

The downside is that it can be a little headache-y, the tannins are out of control I guess. But who gives a shit about tommorow?

The best part is that this wine is $8.45 canadian. This is a fucking steal. A friend who owns a restaurant had us for Xmas dinner and i was surprised to see he had a few bottles out, hes got a serious wine cellar at his joint, and we agreed that this shit is perfect with food.

Please tell me other cheap wines that you like that I can drink!

I just leave some kool aid in a plastic bag near my radiator for about a week.

Cold rice and Rat meat tastes good with a bit of wine.

[Francis Begbie]

Red, white, and some blush. What more do you need?

[seemeugly]

After you finish the Franzia you can take the bag out of the box, inflate it, and use it as a pillow.

[Francis Begbie]

That's a rookie move. You have to take the bag out of the box ASAP and play slap the bag.

The tannins have nothing to do with headaches its the sulfite's.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.

i fucking love that he's spitting 90pt wines into a jets garbage can.

but for the life of me, i dont know why i loved that show so much.

SoS, wyndham estates makes a really nice merlot for 15 bones at the lickbo

[Tyro1]

I like this guigal rhone, it's cheapish french if you can get it.

I wish if sufu had ongoing permanent threads about certain consumer goods and products. I understand there are gazillion forums/boards out there devpted specifically for many of the prodcuts but it may be nice to share info with the community like SOS has done with this particular bottle.

Wine would be a good one, wish someone would do one on scotch as I am getting into it - I've gone on Whiskey Mag's forum to accumulate some knowledge. Electronics (perhaps devided into smaller categories)...

[mizanation]

SoS, if you want a great cheap wine, try gallo. gallo's quality has gone way up after the grandkids took over. it's tastes great and cheap. when i want to drink cheap, i also go for the yellow tail.

Do they have Trader Joe's in Cannuckda?

[aDj]

No Trader Joe's in T.O.

Do they have Trader Joe's in Cannuckda?

[Subculture]

I like the Jordan Cab...its like maybe 25 bucks a bottle. Good stuff

btw

"I'm not drinking any fucking Merlot."

[despotroast]

Were you thinking of '2 buck Chuck'? That stuff is great.

Generally I look for the words 'Australian/Californian/South African' and 'Cabernet/Shiraz'. Cheap European wine tastes like grape flavoured sugar water to my palette. The 2005 Jacob's Creek I had last night was rather nice, though it was absolutely out of control on the headache scale.

The Australians have been consistantly putting out good quality, fairly priced products in recent years, now if even the children of outlaws and prisoners can do it, where are we headed

[onemancult]

did you just get called vordul?

thats his name.

[wEstSidE]

I don't believe it.

Points for posting the gayest 'wine' known to mankind. I'm not sure even Blue Nun could top that.

[seemeugly]

Boone's is a classic cheap drunk.

what region of scotland are you interested in? if islay, caol ila is the bomb - look for the independent bottlings if you can, adelphi has an insane one out now that's well worth looking for. but really the world of scotch (and wine) is a pretty heavy one and probably beyond the scope of what sufu can provide...

VAY-NER-Chuck!

[Double D]

I just looked up the wine in the original post, seems they sell a 2004 vintage in Waitrose for £4.70. I shall report back.

cant go wrong with charles shaw.

[seraphieL]

did you just get called vordul?

thats his name.

Wait, like Vordul Mega? Fucking sweet.

[thelaststarfighter]

um....?

[almondcrush]

im usually a cab drinker but this summer ive been searching for a go-to white

ive found it in 2006's chateau ste. michelle riesling

light, clean, delicious

and at around ten dollars a bottle you cant go wrong

also while many australian wines are a bit fruity for my tastes

the folks at black swan make a solid cab (big for a budget wine) and a great chardonnay

they are also doing a rebate offer through june for thirty dollars off a case

usually retailing at five to seven dollars a bottle, the rebate makes for very tasty wines to be had at a steal
