Hi, I know that some of you are way more educated than I am about wines. (Lance!) I wanted to have a place for you all to recommend your favorites--be specific now!

An associate of my dh's sent us 3 bottles of wine. I was cooking Veal Scallopini last night, so we opened the white wine, which was absolutely fantastic. (I usually prefer Cabernet.)

It was a 2002 Meursault (Burgundy Whit Wine from France) It also carries the winery owner's name (I guess that what it is!): Domaine Joseph Matrot

I would highly, highly recommend it. Very soft, not biting at all. Was just the best with the veal, let me tell you!

since i DO live in the NAPA VALLEY, i recommend only NAPA VALLEY wines! i like domaine chandon reserve for those special occasions when a sparkling wine is appropriate. Long meadow ranch has a nice cabernet. and just about anything from the carneros district is wonderful in the chardonnays.

Landi, my mom's high school chum worked for the BV vineyards, we used to get some really good special reserve wines!!

I'm all about Chandon, of course I'm not at the reserve level these days, but I've found some 2nd label wines that do a great job!!

For whites we do love the German named wines - not that I can pronounce, or say them!! I've always liked Chardonnay, but there are so many varieties of flavors of Chardonnay, and I like the smooth buttery, not so heavy oak flavored chardonnay, that I've found my flavors in teh gwertz, oand rieslings!!

Thanks!

We actually buy Long Meadow Ranch, landi! And I do like it a lot!

I love Reislings, too, Reader. The smooth, buttery kind is what I like, too.

I have really gotten into Bogel wines lately. They have a really good chardonnay, merlot and a divine petite syrah. Really reasonably priced too. Pretty label to impress the wine snobs.
My kitchen wine is a Pinot Greis.

Just discovered the perfect holiday wine. Traverse Bay Winery (near Traverse City) makes a spiced cherry wine that is absolutely delightful if heated and served w/ a cinammon stick.

On "normal" days, I prefer Yellow Tail Shiraz from Down Under -- but I'm definitely no wine snob-- We pick up Arbor Mist all the time! LOL

I like the Luna di Luna in the red bottle (Cabernet-Merlot). I like Columbia Crest Merolt but Tim likes Woodbridge.

Love the Australian Yellow Tail wines - very mellow tastes. Also, enjoy the Beringer White Merlot. Is it 5 o'clock somewhere yet?
