WINE

[The Count]

Hi Folks,

I was just wondering if any of you wine drinkers have any recomendations? We would normally be red drinkers and although I have never really bothered with wine from the states I am willing to give them a try. I wouldn't want to cause any bad feeling now would I?[msnwink]

Anything from the Cakebread cellars is awesome, some of the better Disney eateries will stock bottles http://www.cakebread.com.

My hubby is a great drinker of Californian Merlot. he is not home at the moment or no doubt he could bore you to death with his choices[msnwink]
Stone Cellars is one of the ones he looks out for in Florida.

There is a winery at LAKERIDGE WINERY AT CLERMONT you can taste the wine and buy some the RED SOUTHERN is to die for and some other ones are good ,
You cannot buy them in the supermarkets only at the WINERY well worth a rid to try some .

I can second that - we often take fiends there and take the tour - watch a short video of the history of the winery - take the walk through the processing area and then down to the wine tasting - approximately 6-8 wines including their own champagne!! -you can try before you buy!! and then get a discount if you buy some - their pink champagne is lovely - I like the Southern Red and the Southern white - also the Sunblush. worth the ride!!

If you are a serious fan of wine I don't think the winery will be for you, but this is just my opinion but for a day out it's something different. I did not find one wine I would spend my cash on. My favourite tipple is champagne and the pink "champagne" there, I thought was horrid, the guys in Rheims would be horified

We normally go for the Caifornian wines but it's cheating I guess as when I ocassionally drink wine back home it's Ernst Julio Gallo but it is the same price in dollars as it is pounds! The Californian Brut is ok at a push but nowt like the real McCoy.

Thing is Paul because the prices are so reasonable you can afford to try a few..............dozen.[beer]

Here in Essex a popular Ladies Wine seems to be

"I Wanna go to Lakeside ....

We have tried many (many,many) wines from the likes of Walmart, and had some very good 'finds'. You don't need to spend much money on a bottle of wine so it is worth trying. I am sorry cannot remember the names (again hubby might remember but he is not here).

I do remember one time we bought a litre bottle of red (a real 'cheapy') and it was the nicest we had tasted in a long time. We ended up getting that wine a few times.

We usually go for the Robert Mondavi or Ernst Julio Gallo but not the very cheapest (i.e. $5 per bottle).
