Duplin scuppernong and muscadine wines, found at the NC section of wine stores, or as you're driving to wilmington on I-40 (Duplin Co. Winery...)

They're very sweet, so are good for the novice wine drinker (like me )
Also, even the white wine has something like 5x the antioxidants of regular red wine.

for my birhtday...(a little drunk now) my fiance and I tried some Rosa Regale at Melting Pot....its sparkling wine...made in Italy....Its so good....at Total Wine...19.00 for a bottle.

Thanks to being underage I don't really get to try many different wines but my family had some Yellow Tail Chardonnay this Thanksgiving that I thought was really good.

11/25/2005 11:57:19 PM

Ive worked in fine dining and tried many wines and nothing has ever been better that pino grigio or rosa regale sparkling wine.

11/25/2005 11:58:59 PM

yellowtail is terrible

like $4 a bottle

11/25/2005 11:59:19 PM

I'm not a fan of Yellow Tail either

Cakebread Cellars 2002 cabernet sauvignon... :drool: ... However, it's $65/bottle

It goes well with fish and chicken... I don't know about beef 'cause I don't eat it.

Chateau Morrisette Cab Sav. ~20. fuckin fantastic.

11/27/2005 9:51:42 PM

i was on a tour of the vineyards in the Napa Valley one time

our guide at one winery was passing around samples of their different wines, and describing each one (the way wine afficianados to..."full body, hints of tobacco and rosemary, and a clean finish...")

well, she passes around a couple of bottles of this one wine and says "i like to describe this wine as "an explosion in your mouth"


i've never seen so many stuffy people stifle so much laughter...hahaha

11/27/2005 9:59:02 PM

^^i visit that winery every year, and concure with your suggestion

11/27/2005 10:21:27 PM

Best super cheap red: Concha y Toro Cab blend. Its like $5.69 at Food Lion. Wine Enthusiast had it as one of its budget picks. Also Rex Goliath Pinot Noir for about $6 is popular and easy.

For good wines, in general, under $30 (or even under $20) we can list dozens with ease. Go to any wine store (Carolina Wine Co, Wine Merchant, Great Grapes, and Wine 'n Things) and do the free tastings. They have emails they send every week withs pecials and whats being sampled that week. Try something other than what grocery store wine suppliers push. The more you try the more you realize that what you thought was stupendous before really wasn't all that great.

I'd say my favorite red right now is Martin Family Russian River Pinot Noir (runs about $17-$19 per bottle by the case, probably about $25-$27 single) and is just amazing, especially in a good glass. RIght now my favorite whites are the Domaine de la Denante Saint-Veran (white Burgundy, like a Pouilly-Fuisse) and the Bedford Road Sauvignon Blanc (I just love SB's out of NZ for some reason). Oh and these two run me less than $12 per bottle by the case if I remember correctly.
