In short, this blog is for the every person out there trying to figure out what wine is closest to the wine they like. I'm not going to pretend like I know about wine pairings, or that I'm a sommelier; that's not why I started this blog (and plus, I drink wine on its own, without anything to eat with it more often than not). I started this blog because there are a plethora of wines available on the market and whenever I go into the store, there's always something different and I never knew for sure what I would like. I'm open to drinking many wines, but I know what I like, and I know what I don't like - and I certainly don't like wasting time with "bad" wine.
I have my default wines, but I love trying new things. Here are my go-to's:
Red
I prefer full-bodied red wines, such as California Cabernets and Argentinian Malbecs. I recently tried a Pinot Noir, which I don't usually go for, that was really good. I'm a lot less picky about reds than I am about whites.
White
I am a bit more picky about whites, and prefer New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs (Marlborough) and Chardonnay from the Russian River Valley. If I am out at a restaurant, I will only order either of these.
Favorites:
Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand
Puligny Montrachet White Burgundy
Low to No Oak Chardonnay

Sparkling/Champagne
I prefer brut over sweet, and will drink a sparkling rose. I really enjoy champagne and prosecco. I'm less likely to buy cava or very sweet sparkling wines.Pink
I really enjoy white zinfandels. I find that they have become less available in my area for some reason, but I like white zin more than any other "blush" wines I have tried. I find they perform nicely as well (aka, give me a great buzz).
A note about rose: I don't like rose... at all. I even went to a wine tasting so that I could expand my knowledge and maybe find one I liked. I didn't! As noted above, however, I do like sparkling rose's.
