sweet means that you can taste a definite sweetness when drinking it, with a dry wine you can't

(and with the right dry wine it makes it feel like you kinna ate alum or something- quite tannic

)

sorry- vaguely drunk at the moment- hope that made sense

definitley go for a malbec- if it were human I'd run off with it and have its babies

I'll happily sample any grape variety, I don't discriminate but nothing makes me happier than a firm, full-bodied, slap-you-in-the-face than slid-down-like-butter Aussie red. But I may be biased

Okay, that makes since...that definition is what I had in mind...but I doubted it being that simple for some reason. :p LOL Oh, vaguely drunk? And what are you drinking this evening?

I love a wine thread!

Does anyone besides Trinity and me like the big, kick-you-in-the-mouth reds these days? I've had single glasses of tremendous Petit Sirahs and Amarones at Tria in Philly recently.

I would be up for trying some of these big, kick-you-in-the-mouth reds that you speak of. :p They sound interesting.

Have you any sugestions?

I'm not sure if they count as kick-you-in-the-mouth reds, but lately I'm really digging tempranillos and malbecs. As a fan of cheap wine too, I find Chilean reds have a great bang for the buck.

I agree. Chile and Argentina are good places to look for affordable, drinkable wines. At the Mexican bar/restaurant across my old place in South Philly, the vast majority of reds were from down there. Spain also has some great wines.

I <3 Cheap Wine. :p

I've really wanted to go tasting lately...too bad we don't live closer to eachother, or we could! :p Well, I guess we still could, but it would be slightly more difficult. :p lol I should find some people to go with...

I generally like medium to expensive cabernet sauvignon and shiraz wines.

I usually drink Allesverloren Shiraz from Swartland, South Africa. It makes me happy, it tastes very good with most kinds of meat and it's just awesome.
