I like bone dry italian whites!

[trisham]

I like Chardonnay. What I don't like is acidic, fruity wines.

I like italian wines, chewy reds, and most of all, good champagne.

[BipolarBob]

Okay I confess! It was me. I tried one bottle of Pinot Noir, just one bottle mind you(since I've seen the movie) and that's all I've heard about. Never again. I'll stick to Cabs and Merlot and the occasional Shiraz.

Even I, a dedicated beer drinker, tried looking for Pinot at the liquor store after I saw this movie. I wanted to see if it was more expensive than other wines.

However, they had too much stuff and I had too little patience (and groceries in the car), so I just grabbed that 18 pack of Bud and hit the road.

Flame away! ; )

I'm holding out for the trend movie for Boone's Farm.

[Enterprise]

Oh, I DO beg your pardon. You wanted a DRY white Italian. So sorry!

[byteback]

I agree. Chardonney is the wine snob choice. It's like voting Dem because all the other cool hollywood types do.

[Clemenza]

Only the American Chards are "Oak Monsters." French wines made from Chard (such as Chablis) are rarely oaked. The reasons Californians oak their whites so much is because most (though not all) Cali whites taste like cat pee so they need to cover up the flavor.

The good thing about Chardonnays and Sauvignon Blancs are their dryness.

Alsatian wines are generally sweet, with the Riesling and Gewurtztraminer the sweetest of the bunch.

No thanks. I don't want anything that reminds me of those cloyingly sweet Germans I left behind many years ago.

[Clemenza]

BTW: Let me recommend Jackson Estate's Sav Blanc out of New Zealand. Complements lobster oh so nicely.

Of course, I could revert back to my childhood and pick up a $6 bottle of Vinho Verde from Portugal. Its one step up from a Bartles and James Wine Cooler I know, but it is oh so fun to drink with shellfish.

[TADSLOS]

Actually, I'm fond of this kind:

First , allow me to say that Sideways was absolutely one of the WORST movies I have ever seen.

Second, I hate wine.

[Ron in Acreage]

Cabo Wabo on the rocks.

[CTOCS]

In my store the whites sell in this order:

1. Chard
2. Sauv Blanc
3. Pinot Grigio
4. Jo Reisling
5. Gewurztraminer
6. Pouilly Fuisse

[PJ-Comix]

I'm very partial to Rhine Wine. The WORST white wine I ever had was Zinfandel. Will NEVER touch that stuff again.

[Oberon]

I like bone dry italian whites!

You're off your lithium. Reisling is where it's at.

[P.O.E.]

"Take some wine
Take some Ripple
Mix 'em both together
And have a champipple"

[Argh]

I would like to try Virginia Madsen numerous times before deciding if there should be a Sideways Part Deux.

[najida]

I don't like anything that tastes like unripe scuppernongs (acid, tart and not quite 'there').

So sue me, I don't like 'dry' wines.
Chenin Blanc or a Rhine and a happy camper.
