OT Wine Recommendation Thread

[nocommonsense]

[quote=Russell]Maybe I missed this question in the thread? Has anyone drank wine that they, or a non-expert friend made that was pretty good? How many tries did it take them? How much did they make?

Does anyone like blackberry wine? I just googled it and some review of a Mogen David was very complimentary. Curious, because I planted a bunch of blackberries. They have the potential to produce well the second year.[/quote]

In fact, I did and love it. The local Bevmo in Carmel Mountain Ranch carries a kind of Kosher blackberry wine for ~$4 a bottle. It tastes great to me but might be a bit too sweet for most of the wine snobs here 🙂 I also love the concord grape version, both having at least 40% juice in it so says the labels.

I also love dessert wines. The australian muscat at Costco is very very good.

Despite problems of journalistic ethics from various media outlets in recent years, I seriously doubt Calvin Trillin (of all people) just made this story up.

And apparently there is a lot of similar corroborating research out there that disputes purported wine expertise:

I’m no expert… just sayin’.[/quote]

I don’t want to take positions on wine expertise in general. I’m just saying that red wine tastes distinctly different from white wine. Get some black lid paper cups and see for yourself.
