Okay, I'm just getting started with this wine thing and am still developing a pallet, but I'm figuring out I prefer lighter "fruitier" wines. (don't laugh) Rieslings and gewurztraminers seem to be my favorites so far. I find myself still struggling with reds, although I did try one over the weekend that I REALLY enjoyed, and, no, not just because of the suggestive name. . .
We opened a bottle of Menage a Trois Red and had a nice afternoon of movie watching with wine and cheese. The Menage a Trois is a mix of three reds (zinfandel, merlot, and cabernet) and I expected it to be on the heavy side, but was surprised to find that it was very flavorful and light.
Okay, I just realized I don't have the vocabulary to describe wine. . .
In any case, I'll definitely be putting this on my list of wines I'll buy again.
