When I was a wine drinker, I'm recalling that White Zinfandel was nice. Don't recall any brands; it's called White Zinfandel , but is usually actually a Rosé.
There are many one i can think now is La Spinetta Moscato d'Asti Bricco Quaglia
it is semi sweet and slightly drier ( Sparkling )
Thank you. I will have to try that up when I go to the store.
Adding this to my list, thanks. I will definitely give updates when I decide to get them.
I haven't bought La Spinetta Moscato d'Asti Bricco Quaglia in a while.
It's priced over $20.
so not sure if this is over your budget
I prefer reds but enjoy a lot of whites, too. Don't drink much, though, just a glass with meals now and then when dining out.
It is, though I have not had it in a while. My last white was a Chardonnay.
An old photo of Riccadonna Asti Ruby Spumante . The bottle may have changed.
I used to enjoy this sweet wine in the past, but I don't have sweet wine often
Nicolas Feuillatte Grande Reserve Brut Champagne
Moët & Chandon Impérial Brut Champagne (this my most Favourite from this two)
Winton Road Barossa Valley Shiraz. 2018 (Also got Winton Road Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon forgot to take a pic)
Running Horse Classic Aged Shiraz 2016
And a wine that is not bad for the price, just 5 bucks.
South Point Estate Pinot Grigio
Ok I Will share more later

Well as long as it's not $60 dollars then it's fine. Would hate to shell out the cash and turn around and not like it 🤣
I usually buy one or another under the general heading of "red / rose", and I use it for cooking moreso than drinking.
And the old chef's line is true: "don't cook with anything you wouldn't drink".
Goes for beer as well.

I used to like red wine a lot, but lately, I've started to enjoy some white wines, especially Pinot Grigio. I still like red wine, but in the past, it was mostly reds.

I don't think it'll cost that much, but maybe you won't like it.
People have different tastes.
Lately, I'm not spending a lot I usually go for cheaper wines. Everything costs more now.

I don't like wine. Conversation over for me.
I like the taste, but don't "imbibe" because even just a little bit makes me too woozy & off balance.
........that reminds me; I really like those little Woo-Zoo fans.
What about wine in the food?

No not in food either and this is the reason. When I was six I had my first communion and when the priest gave me the Eucharist, he also gave me a sip of wine which I spit all over the floor. Never tried wine after that
I got this two to try
Hill Estate Cool Climate Pinot Grigio
One Road Goulburn Valley & King Valley Cabernet Merlot
Okay, the Merlot is a steal at $7.99 from Aldi, but hey, it's not just for sipping it's got a date with my cooking too.
As for the Pinot Grigio, not exactly pocket change, a bit fancier at $16.99
I'm on a mission for more budget friendly wines, steering clear of the high rollers these days.
I'll share how they taste when I try them

It's been a while since I tried Merlot. I wanted a wine that wouldn't overpower the dish for cooking. While I expected a more delicate flavour (considering it's been a while since I had one) it turned out a bit too light for my taste. This specific wine isn't the best,
it's okay for the price I suppose.
I'm thinking of trying a few other brands for comparison.
Merlot, though, remains a good choice for wine beginners.
