I also like James Arthur Edyn's Blush, Amo Te, &amp; Edelweiss (it's locally made but I believe starting to be available all over US.) All are sweet and delicious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-what-kind-of-wine-would-you-suggest#post-148187 Fri, 04 May 2012 11:55:09 +0000 mrs. wagon 148187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Reisling or Moscato!!!! my favorites!!!!</p> <p>Don't bother with ice wine, it's like syrup! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-what-kind-of-wine-would-you-suggest#post-148175 Fri, 04 May 2012 11:46:22 +0000 MamaMoose 148175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: I'm with you. I can do sweet wine every now and then but never with food!</p> <p>A light &amp; crisp fruity sauv blanc is my fave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-what-kind-of-wine-would-you-suggest#post-148168 Fri, 04 May 2012 11:37:56 +0000 yoursilverlining 148168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you don't like the moscato, don't be afraid to try other types of wine. I personally dislike sweet dessert wines, especially with food. You might find you like a non-sweet, but refreshing white, or a red; either a subtle one or a bold one. Wine tastings are great to get you started! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-what-kind-of-wine-would-you-suggest#post-148131 Fri, 04 May 2012 11:21:50 +0000 Sweet T 148131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all of the suggestions!</p> <p>I think I'll try a Moscato first. I love bubbly drinks of any kind so I think it would be a good start.

I'm more of a red fan myself, but whites always feel more summery to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-what-kind-of-wine-would-you-suggest#post-147455 Fri, 04 May 2012 02:27:22 +0000 looch 147455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I third a sauv blanc. You can mix it with some sparkling water and lemon to make it even more refreshing in the summer.</p> <p>I am not a big red wine drinker...I only like certain kinds and then only one glass. I also don't like the teeth stains they leave behind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-what-kind-of-wine-would-you-suggest#post-147438 Fri, 04 May 2012 01:46:31 +0000 lemondrop 147438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you like sweeter things (like blended drinks), definitely a late harvest riesling or a moscato. Also some of the pre-made sangrias are pretty good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-what-kind-of-wine-would-you-suggest#post-147430 Fri, 04 May 2012 01:38:34 +0000 cupcakemama 147430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second a sav blanc from the marlborough region of new zealand!</p> <p>Also, i'll plug Australian wines! Most of the ones you can get cheaply in the supermarket (yellow tail, tyrells, penfolds etc) are quite nice. I love a chardonnay or a shiraz. Cabernet sauvignon tends to be a lighter red then a big, bold shiraz. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-what-kind-of-wine-would-you-suggest#post-147355 Thu, 03 May 2012 23:14:04 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 147355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lambrusco is what started me on wine. It has a little bubble to it and it's very tasty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-what-kind-of-wine-would-you-suggest#post-147299 Thu, 03 May 2012 22:02:59 +0000 Mrs. Pen 147299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@joyjoy: Yumm! One of my favorites :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-what-kind-of-wine-would-you-suggest#post-147293 Thu, 03 May 2012 22:01:55 +0000 Mrs. Pen 147293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like light, sweet, or fruity wines. I usually drink white. Only occasionally red.</p> <p>My favorites lately have been and gerwurtztraminer and leibframilch. Also love lambrusco ( both white and red) and moscato.</p> <p>My husband hates wine, but LOVED moscato and drank three glasses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-what-kind-of-wine-would-you-suggest#post-147288 Thu, 03 May 2012 22:00:25 +0000 Mrs. Bee 147288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i loooove wine. bold reds like cabernets. i don't like fruity wines or chardonnays. in the summer i love a dry (but not too dry) sauvignon blanc.</p> <p>a sweeter wine would probably be a better bet for you though if you aren't a big wine drinker. i second the riesling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-what-kind-of-wine-would-you-suggest#post-147281 Thu, 03 May 2012 21:58:19 +0000 SleepyMonkey 147281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a big wine drinker, but I didn't used to be! The wine that got me started was Sauvignon blanc from new zealand. It's a white wine that is very light, fruity and crisp. I think whites are generally easier to drink if you don't like wine. The reason I mention new Zealand is that they have the perfect climate for growing this type of grape and the Sauvignon blancs from NZ are usually pretty consistent. You can find a very good bottle in the low teens dollar price range. Brands that like are Kim Crawford and Whitehall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-what-kind-of-wine-would-you-suggest#post-147280 Thu, 03 May 2012 21:57:37 +0000 MsLipGloss 147280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A (German) Riesling would also be a good sweet choice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-what-kind-of-wine-would-you-suggest#post-147259 Thu, 03 May 2012 21:48:21 +0000 joyjoy 147259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Try a Moscato d'Asti. It's sweet, bubbly and lighter than a regular moscato. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-what-kind-of-wine-would-you-suggest#post-147255 Thu, 03 May 2012 21:45:52 +0000 chopsuey 147255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a wine drinker, but I love dessert wine. It's sweet and yummy!<br /> Bosc moscato is my favorite </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-what-kind-of-wine-would-you-suggest#post-147252 Thu, 03 May 2012 21:44:30 +0000 Sweet T 147252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just read Mrs. Bee's thread about wine and didn't want to thread-jack.</p> <p>I don't usually drink wine. I'm not a beer drinker and every wine I've ever smelled or tasted has been just like beer. If we're drinking at home, I usually have something like Mike's Hard Cranberry Lemonade or a flavored Smirnoff Ice. Sometime's we'll make blended drinks.</p> <p>Anyway, I'd really like to find a wine that I like and can enjoy occasionally (with dinner or just because). Recommendations, Please? </p>
