Someone just posted today, I think in real estate or something
saying they bought a house that included bottles of wine and they asked about some specific brands and specific questions.
I don't know if you replied to it or where to find it.

EDIT
***Also I would like a sweet, non dry, possibly fruity wine or whatever.

Here is the probelm I have. I love to drink, not in an alcoholic way but I love it none-the-less.

When I drink I drink a lot of Cocktails ie: Canberry Vodka (Absolut or Skyy)
Lemonade Vodka (Svedka or Ciroc)

Them vodkas are my favorite. Especially Ciroc. ( Ibelieve it's the most smoothest)

THe probelm is my friend and his family is more of a wine and champaigne type of family and we're having a party there this weekend and I a have to bring a wine that I like.

I have tried many types of wine( don't know of there names though) and don'y like it.

Since, I have to bring a bottle is there one you would recommend that is not REAL sweet, not dry, not REAL fruity.

I hate sweet girly drinks.

Let Me Know!

Rick, you've left out the most important information.....

Red or White

ITstudent2006 · Jan 9, 2009, 09:32 AM

I don't know the difference!

What tastes better?

I could care less if it's blue, yellow or green as long as it's soomething I can choke down for this formal event!

Like I stated I hate girly drinks ie: real fruity, real sweet. But not like gin where it's a dry taste.

Oh I have a question... i like some red wines but not all and the place i buy wine often doesnt have the same brands when i go back again.

I am looking for a red that's not overly "dry" or that has a strong after taste.

Is there a specific type of grape of region you would recommend to stick to to get a red wine that is a bit less "harsh" since as soon as i seem to find a brand i like i cant buy it anymore. Oh and, in general, is it true or untrue that the more you spend the better the wine will be?

Hi, I was wondering if certain kinds of red wine have more health benefits than others or are they all equally healthy?

some of the bunco girls drink wine.its always merlot, I can't stand it. They are big wine drinkers at least a bottle each, so price does matter. They are picky, any help would be great. Thanks loads!
