4 red sorts of wine and 4 white sorts of wine - what do you like?

 

[Zebra]

My choice: Anything but Chardonnay (ABB)

Why are you effectively repeating the age old nonsense type of preference question ,
Apple versus Pear ---- because both are fruit ? Or even Man versus Woman, presumably because both are allegedly the same species ?
They are separate entities with respective values and contexts.
I particularly like Gewurtrzraminer, but there are several factors influencing and qualifying that choice which I would not expect others to share -- and for many different reasons.

Maybe it appears as "nonsense" for you.
It is no nonsense for me.

Grape varieties are a pleasant topic!
Talking about them is the next good thing to drinking them.

 

[Zebra]

From the grape varieties that I have mentioned, I like best:

white: Gewürztraminer
red: Zinfandel

Yes, I like some grape varieties more than others, which I think is perfectly normal and natural.

For me grape varieties are really important.
Which ones do you know and like?

According to my source it is from New Zealand.
And made from:
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir und Pinotage.

They're discussed for the other special reserve offerings made by Lindauer in NZ.

A good Chardonnay from Burgundy can be very nice.
In general, Boudreaux are good, especially Saint Emilion.

I have now read up on Lindauer Rosé.

Special Reserve Rosé is a cheerful wine of high quality and reasonable price.

Rosés in general would also make a good topic to talk about once!

So do I.
Who else knows and likes Gewürztraminer?

I never could stand wine.

I mean I get it as it should help with the palette during a good meal but it never appealed to me.

I'm not a big wine drinker but I like a dryer white. The Sancerre Rieslings are one of my favorites as they are not like the overly sweet German Rieslings

...and already had.

the overly sweet German Rieslings

I keep reading about sweet Rieslings.
To that I say: Riesling wines can be anything from very dry to very sweet.
And in Germany you can get all those sorts.

I suspect that mostly or only sweet and over-sweet German Rieslings are exported from Germany to the US.
Because the customers expect German Rieslings to be sweet.

So this thing is like a self-fullfilling prophecy.

...and already had.

Riesling and Pinot blanc have now got 2 votes each.
But Chardonnay still has no vote.
Maybe you clicked on it, but the system did not register?
