Hi Everyone!

 

I found a ne malbec that I absolutely fell in love with! Of course, I can't find the cork, so I don't remember what it is.

 

I am still drinking Dark Horse chardonnay and Low Hanging Fruit chardonnay.

 

What about you?

I only drink the fabulous wines from my state, Michigan. We have some wonderful wineries we visit several times a year. What a fun time!

I didn't know Michigan had wineries! When I lived in Southfield, I hadn't started drinking wine. Where are they? Up near the peninsula? What kind of grapes are grown there?

was strictly a white wine person (muscadet, pino grigio, sauvignon blanc) but the past couple of months I have gotten into the reds..loving pinot noir, tempranillo ,grenache montepulciano, and riojas... really enjoying trying the different reds

I picked up a case of Dark Hourse chardonnay last week.  The employee who has the same taste in wine that I do recommended Butter chardonnay.

 

It was a screw cap, and $17, but with a name like Butter, I had to try it.

 

Full body chardonnay, with a butter nose, a buuter palate and a butter finish.

 

This was THE best wine I have ever tasted!.

I'm not a wine drinker, but I've enjoyed reading this thread and would like to see it continue.  I have a friend who tries lots of wines, and her current favorite is Liberty Creek Pinot Grigio.  Anyone else tried it?

Has anyone tried the QVC wines? To me, its so easy to find good inexpensive wines under $15 that it seems silly to order them online when my liquor store carries such a wide variety. Perhaps if I lived in a very rural area it would make sense but Im less than a mile to my liquor store.
