$6 Wine to Buy For Your Saturday Evening

10/22/2011

This wine was less than $6 at Whole Foods (which means you can probably buy it for$4 at a regular grocery store).

And it was one of the best reds I’ve ever had. Go get it. It’s  fantastic.IMG_2640

Do you like red wine or white wine? Dry or sweet? Dry, red wine is my favorite but a crisp, dry white is amazing in the summer. I hate sweet wines.

If you don’t drink wine, what’s your favorite drink? Kombucha or root beer is a perfectly acceptable answer. :)

White – that is just a tad sweet. I only started drinking wine about a year ago and haven’t acquired a taste for reds yet!

Try a shiraz – I swear even white wine drinkers like shiraz! :)

I’m a fan of red AND white wine. I tend to like red’s in the colder months and cool whites in the summer :)

We had some friends over and my husband poured us some red wine. I thought it was so delicious and commented several times on it. When I looked at the label, I was stunned to find it was Trader Joe’s! Just proves that cheap can be delicious!

I’ve heard TJ’s wine is amazing but have never tried it!

I prefer a nice lager or stout, but I do love Crane Lake! I just started drinking reds. My palate has changed a lot and sweet whites (which I used to love) are just too sweet now.

Isn’t it funny how your palate changes over time?

I love vino. Our grocery stores can’t sell it, though because of tragic state laws. I bet Whole Foods would have a great selection.

Whole Foods really does have a great selection, from cheap to pricey, organic to sulfate free. Sorry about your state laws, but I understand! I grew up in Utah!

I LOVE dry red wine. I might be a snob, but I cannot drink anything else.

And I hate sweet wine, too. Blech!

I love sweet whites–I know, so girly. My favorite is Gewurtzraminer.

I’ve never even heard of Gewurtzraminer…let alone how to pronounce it! :)

I like white, the sweeter the better! (Basically the opposite of how I like my coffee, black and bitter! haah)

haha!

I’ve slowly worked my way up to black coffee. I used to have to have tons of sugar and milk and now I like it black with just a little sugar. I’m so proud of myself! :)

I can only handle super-sweet white wines. Dessert wines. Moscato is by farrrr my favorite type. And it multi-tasks – I use it in dessert recipes AND plain sipping.

But my husband is like you – dry reds are his favorite.
