I enjoy a good Merlot. Cabernet is a bit drier but still nice. Im not fond of whites and a nice dessert port is sweet and I like sipping it infront of a fire. Plum wine is very sweet and has to be my favorite treat.
Meads come in many flavors and Im trying them all, all over the world lol but around here they are out of my financial budget, Which is why I dont drink LOL......Its the internet or a bottle.........guess who wins

I'll vouch for that I do 120 bottle batches at a time.
Am i the only devious thinker here? I know its too late but, no one hounded West and grilled him with questions to make him slip and say things that we could use for later?
I am ashamed of you all........:roll:
120 bottles? I hope that lasts all month.
Hey I thought West was off his anti-trolling meds yesterday, I didn't know it was the brewski talking.LOL:beer:

My drink has always been (before I stopped drinking) Scotch. It is very addictive and when I began Scotch I didn't enjoy anything else - even wine.
Please explain how wine (a liquid) can be dry? I've never had the courage to ask what dry means....

I beleive it refers to sugar content. The less sugar in the end product the dryer it is. Dryness is rated on a scale from 0 to 10, 10 being like an ice wine or desert wine and 0 being a dry reisling.
A dry martini, with none of that sweet vermouth, yuk. I like mine so dry I won't even look at the vermouth when I make it.;-)
ElBarto/eh1eh....OK thanks - I have never liked anything sweet to drink so 'dry' would be a good choice ... learned something new today!
I don't really drink, just occassionally... but rum is indeed very nice on it's own. Sacrilege to mix it with water though. Like brandy, I think it has a smooth taste. :smile:
The French make a confection of various colored chocolate bon bons filled with brandy... very nice.
I have been known to drink a bit,sometimes a bit too much. Bartended for 6 years,great job! Bacardi's makes a rum,"Bacardi's Black," that is quite flavorful and reasonably priced. I reccommend it to anyone that would like to drink a rum straight up.
Coffee with creme de cacao used to be a family camping fave. And, Gilbert, a thermos of mulled red wine is ten times better for warming you up from skiing than hot chocolate, or even mulled apple juice with brandy. Yummy yum yum.
I'm very fond of Jackson Triggs, Cabernet Sauvignon. It's not an expensive bottle ($13 here, probably cheaper down south as you're nearer to the vineyard), and it's not overly dry. It's hard with red wines though, people are much pickier with them, but they're the ones with all the health benefits.
If I were you, I'd stick to BC wines, since they tend to offend my relatives from France by being too 'sweet' and 'fruity'. lol. I love BC wines. Start chatting up the folks at your local liquor store too, sometimes they have great recommendations, and once in a while, they have all the information on the wines stored away, and can give you the rating for how sweet or dry it is.
If you find you're really not enjoying red wines, or you have company coming and don't know what type of wine they like, Gray Monk makes a good rose wine (a 'rotberger' if I recall the label correctly, or a plain rose depending how high end your wine store is) which would still have many of the health benefits, and is a good way to 'learn' to like red. Best of luck.
