Wine anyone??

Several of you know I'm a Chardonnay and an occasional beer drinker.  Well I'm actually allowed either a shot or a glass of RED wine daily!!  Talk about excited!

But now, I don't drink red wine.  Not because I don't like it, because I've never had it!  So help people, what kind of red wines are good??  My tastes usually go for the chardonnays or the Zinfandel, or the stouts or wheaty fruity beers...or corona. :)  What's my perfect red wine??

Now I know this might slow my weight loss,, and I actually don't drink much AT ALL.  But I do like to have a bottle of wine or tequila ready for me when I get an urge.

Any ideas??

Try some Shiraz..I like that cuz it is sweet. I tend to hate chardonnay, but love gerwietzdemeiner (spelling!) which is more like white grape juice!

I also like most pinot blancs - and pinot grigio is the red variety - so also try that one!

Wine has given me some HEINOUS hangovers - way way worse than any other booze...so i much prefer beer/vodka/tequila!

So, my answer for you to rty:  pinot grigio or shiraz!

You could try a nice pinot noir, California makes good affordable ones - they tend to have a full body and deep flavor, since you like the flavorful beers it might suit you. The ones from Oregon are lovely but they tend to be kinda pricey for my budget. diddo Washington state.

I prefer a light Italian Chianti right now - though with Atikins just starting, it's out for a while. I am envying you that evening glass of libation already!

Sorry Holl, but the only wine I know about is the one with the 'h' in it. 

Like when I whine cuz it's just not fair that everybody else gets to eat pizza but me. But now, it's gotten to the point that I'm smaller than alla those folks, so what did it hurt me to give up that stupid pizza anyway?
