There's a wine named 'Breitenbach' that is really really good......"Frost Fire" is the one that brand makes that is VERY popular !! I drank almost one bottle of it by myself one nite at a freinds outside bonfire party......there not big fat bottles or nothin and was a nice break from beer. I got a great buzz off of just a few glasses of it and had a great time.......well......till I got that not so fun SPINS feeling !! It was only 10:00 pm and I am sittin along side my truck banging my head tryin to shake the spins......how embarrassing !!!! I was so mad at myself cuz I was really haveing a good time......one minor detail.......don't forget to eat when drinking !!!!! I blew it and was home spinnin on my own couch by 10:20 pm Pam
Also Boones Farm Apple makes some good tasteing wine also all kinds of flavors now that is GOOD !! Not a real strong wine either like the first one I mentiond. Problem with me and wine is I get a great buzz early but I get a hangover that leaves LATE !!! Hope yer outa cycle and stay PF............way cool !!!!

Well smack my ass and call me Candy! Another PF night last night, woooofuckenhoooo!!!!  Me thinks the psycho bitch (no, not my sister-in-law unfortunately) is on her way OUT!
Jennifer- Dork points are good, right? I get a prize fo that, don't I?? (thanks hon!)
Scott- You're freaking me out here, you mean you wanna drive all the way from NY? LMFAO
BobG- are you volunteering? Butt seriously, any thunder from down under is worth gandering at, hehe.
Minnie- Thank you so much sweetheart! I will have to see if we carry any NY wines. I know we have some from all over the world, but I tend to think that there are a lot of good wineries right here in the good old U.S.
Carol- Don't be so damn shy! That wasn't so bad! LOL!
Coots- Boones Farm? I used to get that stuff when I was young because I wanted to get drunk with stuff that tasted like candy, LMAO! I'm sorta lookin for something a bit more sophisticated nowdays as I want to test lots of good, rich stuff. BTW, a nice full bodied sipping wine is a good relaxer.
Shaz- Thanks so much!!

Melissa--I was only kidding, BUT I think that it is great that you are feeling much better. I know when it appears that the cycle is winding down, I always am abit nervous about the whole thing !!! But I have had pain free nights since Dec. 11th. Even now I am not pushing my luck. From mid october til dec.11 ( 2 full months) I was in hell, and I couldn't even think of going anywhere . Stay pain free and enjoy !!!!

Oh GAWD, how this makes me think of high school.
you forgot Maddog 20 20 and Boones Farm (honorable mention to Diamond red)
I have tried alot of different wines. Considering you like Asti, I would stick with white. It's lighter. Since it really is a matter of taste, research won't help too much. go to a store with a decent selection and plan on spending $10 - $12. Pinot Grigio is nice. (My wife likes it, I like the reds myself) Let me know.

Even though I did have one hit last night, I bought the bottles today anyway. Here's what I got...
From South East Australia- 2004 "YellowTail" Merlot
From Italy- 2003 "Melini" Chianti (Silence of the Lambs is my favorite thriller, so I figured what the heck, might as well try some!)
From France- 1999 "Chateau Greysac" Cru Bourgeois Medoc
I cannot wait!!!!
Thanks so much again everyone!
(p.s., I like a red, full bodied wine, no light crap, just good fruit, well ripened and the less dry the better as I do not care for getting a buzz on more than I want to enjoy the taste...)
PAT- I cannot read what wine that is, what is it?

Melly that was Dom Perignon, a champagne although as champagnes go I prefer Krug myself.
If you like full bodied reds try a nice Rioja or a Tempranillo.. two of my favourite wines

Oh, ok. I don't care too much for champagne tho, but I'll try anything once!
Helen, thanks for the suggestions. Are those sweeter wines? If so, I'm going to add them to my "Wines to try" list for the future.

Mel sounds like your going to have a blast Valentines.
I know you will have everything just right. I hope as soon as everyone gets there you relax and have some fun too.
I am so glad you are doing better. I can almost hear the laughter in your voice. I will try and call in a day or two and hear it for real.
I am so happy for you!!!

farkingsonofabitchdialup!!!! 
I lose more posts from getting knocked offline than anything and it pisses me off! cripes
ANYWAY, Elaine, I know you're happy for me hon, that's because you're such a sweetheart!!!
Charlie, Glogg sounds yummy, but I would rather of had that for the holidays. At least I can have something to look forward to for next year! TY sweets.
Tonight hubby is taking me out for a fish fry, just the 2 of us, and then we are going to Walmart because they have a crapload of stuff on clearance due to them building a Superstore. All their display TV's are at least $100 off, so we're going to pick one up for the kids front room (our old living room). Plus, I gotta buy a wine stopper...hehehe. YAY SHOPPING!!!

If you're into full bodied reds I would have to say that our (Australian) reds are among the best in the world. In terms of quaffers there are an inordinate number of Shiraz and Merlot releases every year that are extremely drinkable (cellaring is for rich old stingy people) all around the AUD$10-15 range. This past holiday season I drank two cases of Hardy's Oomoo Shiraz (RRP AUD$12.95 but around $10 if you shop around). The last few years it was Ingoldby Shiraz. If it's a really special occasion then look for Cape Mentelle Cab/Merlot, I think it's around $25.
As a general rule of thumb it's a safe bet to stay well away from NSW wines (sure, the Hunter Valley is a pleasant place but the wine is pretty hit-and-miss). South Australia for reds and New Zealand first for my favourite whites (SSB) then maybe Tasmania. Of course every now and then you get something really good from some strange part of the world but I don't have enough drink vouchers (money) to stray too far from local wines.
Feel free to PM me about it.
