Wine(for fun)

Lol, thanks! I also look like a teen ager, so it's mostly the compilation of things that make me appear to not be an adult! Oh well I'm only 22, maybe in time....

Perhaps Laura, but you probably act like more of one ;-)

I'm a party pooper, I hate wine, I hate almost evey type of alcohol! I think it smells bad and tastes like nail polish remover. The few mixed drinks or coolers i like a little have so little alcohol in it and so much sugar it's like drinking a kool aid with some alcohol in it.

Personally I'd rather have the kool aid without the alcohol!

I've never been buzzed or tipsy or drunk. No intentions on it in the future either :)

I do feel like I'm less of an adult because I don't drink anything alcoholic at Christmas parties or fancy dinners, but I'm not going to force myself into liking alcohol just to fit in!

I also hate coffee, I guess I'm just not an adult in my taste buds :)

mmm Mimosas and i love strawberry margaritas with sugar around the rim!!!

I love Moscato's...I am not a big wine fan unless its really sweet.

Bonnie - posted on 03/30/2011

I drink wine here and there. Kind of have to since I am married into an Italian family. They make their wine. I also love margaritas.

I miss drinking. I had to stop in my mid twenties for health reasons.

Since I became a mom, I've needed a drink now and then.

I LOVE mimosas. Mmm... Mother's Day is coming up. I'm asking for breakfast in bed with a mimosa.

Joanna - posted on 03/29/2011

I'm a mimosa person :)

But if having wine, I prefer Cabernet Sauvignon.

You like Guinness? I tried it when I was desperate for ways to bring my milk in when I was trying to breastfeed Logan and was kind of embarrassed to admit I liked it! Everyone else was like THAT IS GROSS EMMA!

Lady Heather - posted on 03/29/2011

Me neither. I would loooooove a Guinness right now.

This whole thread makes me want a drink. But I can't :(

I am a see breeze, root beer barrel, long Island Ice tea kind of girl. I also enjoy the beers that you add citrus to, like blue moon, corona light....other beers like red stripe (love it! Reminds me of my honeymoon in Jamaica mon) and Sam Adams light.

I can't drink wine or beer...one sip and I'm puking my guts up.

It's rare that I drink anything alcoholic these days but when I did drink I liked vodka and cranbery juice or a rum and coke. Boring I know...

Jackie - posted on 03/29/2011

mmmmmMMMMmmmm - 18 weeks preggers and you're making me tell you what kind of wine I like.... hmph.

I like Riesling and Pino Gregio (sp?). I also really like Marlot. Chardonay is so gross, I dunno why.

I love me some cheap Yellow Tail Pino!! Yuuum!

For beer, I like the bitter stuff like Rolling Rock or Corona or even Bud Light Lime.... but I HATE bud light.

Maria - posted on 03/29/2011

Maria - posted on 03/29/2011

I'm not much of a wine drinker, I'll try it if someone brings me a glass but it's not something I buy. I'm a beer or mixed drink girl really.

Kate CP - posted on 03/29/2011

Any body else want a drink now?

Kate CP - posted on 03/29/2011

Oh, other liquor? Give me Irish whiskey straight. None of this American burbon crap! I like Bushmills. :)

And for beer I like Shiner Bock and other dark ales. Nummy. My husband drinks girly drinks. His favorite? White Russians.

Jocelyn - posted on 03/29/2011

Lol Laura I love Arbor Mist too :P

Laura - posted on 03/29/2011

Ok, so I'm a total hillbilly, I love cheap Arbor Mist wine. I hate dry wines. I like something a little fruity.

Krista - posted on 03/29/2011

Well now, if we're talking about OTHER booze, I also have a list of loves:

Fave beers: Rickard's White, Hoegaarden, Boddington's, Sleeman's Honey Brown
Fave mixed drinks: French Kiss (a vanilla liqueur) and Pepsi. Mojitos (got completely shitfaced off of those one night). Rye and ginger (very Canadian, no?). GOOD Scotch on the rocks. And every once in awhile, I get a craving for a Long Island Iced Tea, or for a really spicy Caesar.

Jenn - posted on 03/29/2011

I just like wine. White, red, good, bad - I like it all LOL!!!!

Mel - posted on 03/29/2011

I like elements . But My favourite drink is baileys which is sad I know. Love a baileys and milk to relax

Sal - posted on 03/29/2011

and aussie all the way, almost anything from the hunter valley is wonderful

Sal - posted on 03/29/2011

almost all wine can be great, summer i ike a bit of a light sweet and bubble, as tacky as it is i love the moscatos or champagne, winter a nice red not to dry though, a merlo, and if i'm having a glass with the girls a dolce is great, yummy

Ashley=) - posted on 03/29/2011

Has to be white and fruity.I don't get to drink often but when i do, i enjoy it with a nice meal.Usually something with chicken.Goes lovely.

Toni - posted on 03/29/2011

I'm with Cathy red wine always tastes vinegary to me - I have a sweet tooth.

I really like fruity South African white wines, they tend to be winey but not too bitter, which I do enjoy. I'm not really much of a wine snob, I don't mind cheaper brands like Black Tower, in fact really if I am just having a couple of glasses at the end of the day (obviously when I am not pregnant or BF) then that is my wine of choice - it is gentle and tastes good and doesn't give me a hangover - even when I drink 2 bottles of it :-)

I am more of a spirit drinker than a wine drinker I love a Brandy and coke, Archers and cranberry juice or lemonade, Disarano and coke (mmm tastes like Dr Pepper yummy), malibu and coke, vodka and apple juice (my Polish friend introduced this one to me) and rum and coke.

Cathy - posted on 03/29/2011

Sweet fruity white or rose. I'm really not a wine drinker. Red wine always tastes of vinegar to me ... I'd actually rather drink a glass of malt vinegar than that!

Give me a pint of cider, any day, over wine!

Lady Heather - posted on 03/28/2011

Hester? I don't know. It's probably too expensive. Selling to other provinces is not that easy for some of the smaller wineries. If they were going to go there, it would probably be just in restaurants.

Vicki - posted on 03/28/2011

so heather seriosuly why don't they export to ontario?

Lady Heather - posted on 03/28/2011

Ah, I love cheap wine in Italy. When you can actually fit a large quantity of booze into your backpacking budget, you know you are in the right country.

Vicki - posted on 03/28/2011

hey jennie I worked at the wine and orchard museums in kelwona! small world. never made it to oliver though and haven't tried hester.

back in ontario again and sooo miss the ok wines. fell in love with gewurtz there. and riesling. now we generally buy cheap. but not as bad as when I lived in italy. there my roomate and I had a deal to not buy wine over 3 euro. eventually we moved up to 5. ahh...good times those 5 euro wines!

btw why don't you guys export to ontario? and no, I'll pass on the summerhill.

Jocelyn - posted on 03/28/2011

I prefer white over red. Gewurtztraminer or a Riesling. No Chardonnay ever! Bleh, it's like licking cement.
When I do drink red, I like a Shiraz.
I don't really have a favorite brand.

Lady Heather - posted on 03/28/2011

woot. You should enjoy some on the patio at the winery some time. It is like heaven. It is also the only activity I am up for on a summer day in Oliver. HOT.

Johnny - posted on 03/28/2011

I like the Hester Creek whites. They are very nice.

Jane - posted on 03/28/2011

We love wine. Mostly reds but whites in the summer months. My favorite is Frogs Leap Merlot or Cabernet.

Lady Heather - posted on 03/28/2011

My favourite is Hester Creek (good old BC wine) because my dad is part owner so I get it for free. rofl. And it's actually really really yummy. I like the trebbiano. Refreshing and the label is pink. Yes, that matters to me.

Jenny - posted on 03/28/2011

I'll join that fireball party but it must include a campfire.

I live in a big wine region - the Okanagan. We have some of the best wine in the world right here in Kelowna. I prefer red but it stains my teeth so I generally stick to white. I prefer Pinot Grigio for white and a nice Shiraz for red or a Merlot.

Jocelyn - posted on 03/28/2011

Never developed a taste for fermented grapes. Beer, rum, scotch...Vitamin Water. That about does it for me.

I wish I liked wine *gag* then fall asleep. It puts me out within 3 sips.

Fiona - posted on 03/28/2011

I love wine, no scratch that... I love GOOD wine. It's quicker to list the wine I don't like: chardonnay (too bland) and merlot (too sweet), although in saying that, if they are good quality, I will at least try them. I try to drink wine as local as possible (I live in Australia) but that can be hard because a lot of varietals are better from certain regions or countries and I really like to try different types and brands. For example Marlborough, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Noir are almost always excellent although I have recently been trying Australian Sauvignon Blanc and found some great ones from Orange in NSW and from Margaret River.

Johnny - posted on 03/28/2011

I grew up in a family of wine drinkers. One of my uncles runs a specialty import business as a side hobby and another uncle runs activities for the local Spanish wine club. I enjoy a very good red. But I can no longer drink more than just half a glass of regular $15 bottles from the liquor store. I get nasty headaches from that stuff. Last month a friend of my husband's brought us a beautiful red from Virginia (I didn't even know they had a wine country before) and we enjoyed the whole thing, no headache. So apparently while I am not a wine snob, my brain is.

I can drink cheap white in moderation though. We bottle our own and I drink it with sparkling water. Keeps the headaches at bay there too.

Now I'm more of a beer drinker. I enjoy all sorts of beers and we're going to check out beer fest this year. Should be fun, although I'd better make sure we have babysitting well into the nest day, lol.

I also like drinks that were last popular in the 70's, cinzano, sherry, port, and a few other apertifs. But on a hot summer day, there's nothing like a Bellini.

Karla - posted on 03/28/2011

Pinot Noir is my favorite red....Mark West is a good one. I have also heard Parker Station is tasty!!

Johnny - posted on 03/28/2011

Tara? You're a fireball girl? I haven't had that in forever...now I'm getting a hankering.

Charlie - posted on 03/28/2011

Cabernet merlot YUUUUM with dark chocolate .

Stifler's - posted on 03/28/2011

Oh and West Coast coolers are still awesome even though they are a teenager drink. Other drinks I like a lot are Midori or Malibu with pineapple juice or tequila sunrise (orange juice, red cordial and tequila). Or Bundaberg rum and coke.

Stifler's - posted on 03/28/2011

I haven't tried a whole lot of different wines. I'm more of a beer girl (weirdly though, the only beer I like is Hahn) but I like Chardonnay, Dolcetto, Pinot Noir, Margaret River Sparkling (whatever that is, I had it at the stone grill once). I hate Merlot, Shiraz, Moscato, Zibibo and Sav Blac.
