OK, not too much time left but I'm leaving work in about 40 minutes so maybe I'll get a response or two.
My girl's cooking me dinner (salmon)... I'm going to stop and getting a bottle (or a box) of wine. I know I should get a white but I just prefer red. I generaly like a Shiraz, she likes a blend or a Melbac (sp?). Any recommendations?

Thunderbird or Boones Farm.....
I thought it was white wine with fish. That's about my knowledge of the stuff LOL!

I prefer a Pinot noir with Salmon. For white meat fish like Mahi mahi a Chardonnay can pair well but for steak type fish like fresh Tuna or Salmon a red is a winner.

Salmon is the exception. Red goes with salmon, as well. Most any riesling would work if you like a lightly sweet wine, but it is a white wine. Johannesburg riesling is my favorite variety. Lot's of different brands. St Chapelle is a great brand, but I doubt it's available up in Detroit.

When I used to drink wine (gives me migraines now) I always really liked Oliver. The dark red wine is really sweet. The blush is a little sweet. They have a nice white wine also, but I just don't care for dry wines, I like the koolaid taste;) It is very resonably priced also. It started as a local wine but I'm pretty sure they carry it nationally now.

Have you ever had a Guwerstemeaner (sp?)? Very good white, very sweet... reminds me of a Riesling.

At the end of the day, I went with both a red (Malbec) and a white (Guwerstameaner). I don't know what kind other than they cost about $12. All good.... ;)

Personally when I drink wine I just buy a white zinfandel....sutter home is a good one (IMO) and another one I like is a restaurant brand...darn....can't think of the name right now...
I'm not spending al lot either LOL

The trick with wine is not so much what others suggest, but what you end up liking. Glad you enjoyed Crimzy!
