Hi jikz! Have you tried Cupcake Angel Food Cake wine? That's a nice one.

I took a wine pairing class at a restaurant a few years ago. It was well worth it!

Cupcake Angel Food Cake just sounds yummy!
But it's wine - not vodka.

My favorite is pinot noir - I loved the movie, Sideways, even though I don't understand wine.

Sitting on my deck enjoying the June evening with a glass of Cavit Pinot Grigio

not a chard fan at all, in fact I sent back a glass of "pinot grigio" that I swore was a Chardnonnay.

I like Reislings, Pinots- Grigio, Noir, Gerwurtztraminer

take that Fitbit!

sueinsf, I like their Sauvignon Blanc also but I think all Navarro's wines are outstanding. It sounds like you lean towards dry wines also. If you get a chance to try it, their White Muscat is really good. Nice to meet a fellow Navarro fan!

I've seen the Cupcake wines at the the store but the name seems so silly that I have avoided them, will check it out

Hi HoneyBrown! Yes, Korbel's is champagne. I knew once in California that champagnes had to be called sparkling as only wines made in the Champagne Region of France could be called champagne. But I just checked a bottle and it's labeled California Champagne. I know two other wineries in the area however are still calling their's sparkling wine. It's still good, whatever it's called! Too bad about what sounds like shipping restrictions in your state.

I love any opportunity to post my favorite article about why we should drink cheap wine.

http://www.slate.com/articles/life/drink/2011/11/why_you_should_be_drinking_cheap_wine.html

Hi Ennui1! Thanks for the article, but I stopped reading when I got to "1 bottle per month."

lol! that's where I stopped too

That's too bad. You missed a great article.

One bottle per month per capita has a lot to do with the way wine is marketed in the US.

Hi Jack! It sounds like you like that sweeter grapes. I'm just the opposite; I like creamy chards and chenin blancs (vouvrays).

I haven't tasted the Cavit yet. I just saw a commercial for them a few days ago.
