Chianti
Has anyone had a good Chianti? I only remember it from the wicker bottles that we only bought to put candles in, tried to drink the wine but usually threw it out. I'm making a pasta dish (no red sauce, just mizzritha cheese) so I went to my local wine shop to see what they recommended to drink with it. Chianti is what was recommended. I've yet to fix the dish OR open the wine as I want to fix for a special friend and don't want to screw things up. Any suggestions? Suz
Cork Puller
OK guys, I know I don't post too often but enjoy reading posts about wine. I've had numerous cork pullers....not really satisfactory. What do you guys have success with? For years I had the kind with 2 prongs, it worked fine but have finally broken it. Got one of the larger ones with gears, it doesn't always fit on certain necks and I just ruined one of the pocket knife looking affairs....bent the business end. I'd just like something that will be successful every time. Suz
Wine Run
Well I just got back from a wine run to Missouri. Talk about kissing a lot of frogs! I didn't have one descent glass of wine all weekend. I did find a store that carried the few wines I like from there and stocked up for home but nothing good to report about what I tasted this weekend. One place was featuring their Nouveau in 2 weeks and was told last years was pretty good but that didn't help us on Sat. The only thing I found with having was a tshirt that had wine glasses on it and said "group therapy". Guess that's what I was there for anyway. Suz
Newby
Hey All. I'm new here, I'd looked for a wine group when I first joined Eons in Jan. But there didn't seem to be much action back then. Looks like you have a fairly active goup.
I'm a wine novice but love good wine. I like local winerys and go on wine jaunts with my friends, mostly in Missouri. Where there a lot of good wines and a lot of bad one's also. I think I've kissed enough frogs to know a prince but that's about as far as it goes.
I'm mostly into semi dry white (no oak) and into dry reds. I read the post about room temps and have to agree. I find I like my reds best if they are about 55-60, which I have found to be about 1 hr in the fridge.
I'm hoping to learn more about wine here and will pass on any thing that I may learn.
