What is your wine preference?
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

I definitely prefer the taste of red, however, it makes me sweat. So, I tend to stick with white when I am with people.

I find that my tastes tend towards red. My favorite grapes are Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec. Just had a fantastic '03 Australian Shiraz the other day. One of the best wine's I've had in a long time.

I've yet to find a white wine that I liked enough to actually learn what it was called.

Not a big fan of the tannins that are heavy in many reds, though I do enjoy a few blends. While I do not drink wine often, I usually like a white.

I am not sure, but Rose and Blushes are essentially the same thing, no?
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

Rice wine for me.



And with that, I'm gone. Time to rock and roll. Work, work, work. Pah.
Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.

Agreed. Food, and mood.

Definitely prefer red over white but I drink both.

Favorite Reds: bourdeaux, malbec, medoc, zinfandel and a bunch of others
Favorite Whites: rueda, sancerre, viognier
One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

And I personally prefer Port out of all of "those kinds of drinks".

Although, I rarely drink wine. I am a Jack and Water kinda guy.
