Wine Interactive

I like to drink.  Specifically, I like to drink Wine.  I have always enjoyed wine.  When I was younger I loved wine coolers.  When I was in college I was introduced to red wines and I really fell in love.  I do enjoy other drinks and other alcohol but if I want to unwind after a day I usually find a bottle on my wine rack.

I like expensive wines but you don't have to spend that kind of money to find a good wine.  There are alot of great wines for under $20 a bottle out there.  My favorites are Ravenswood Zinfindel, DeVinci Chianti, and Mommy's Time Out.  These are all good table wines that are great right out of the bottle.  I have tried some organic wines and my favorite is Ladybug Red but it seems that it is no longer being made.  

I have had a craving for whites during this hot summer and I am enjoying The Beach House and Borealis, which is an organic wine.  They are crisp and refreshing and light after a hot and humid day.   Both of these were recommended by a salesman since I am not really acquainted with white wines anymore.  I am fortunate to have 3 great wine stores nearby with very knowledgeable staff and great recommendations.  If you want to try a different wine you shouldn't be afraid to ask the salesperson or manager.  I asked one manager for a pairing to go with shellfish and he recommended a Rose...I don't usually like Rose wines.  This one paired beautifully.  

YOUR TURN
What wines do you have at the end of a long day?  Do you only drink while out?  Who would be interested in a wine tasting?
