Spryte: Hmm, I don't know if wine freezes. But I know there are some vacuum sealing dealies that work well and keep it reasonable fresh for long periods. If I could remember the name of mine I would recommend it.

Shane: Oddly enough, even though I really like whites I don't know much about them. I cook a lot with reds, so I know a bit more about them. What did Chardonnay do to you to warrant a vendetta, if I may ask? Wink

Chardonnay is a bit too dry for me but I can tolerate it if it has a smooth buttery finish. I had a Seyval Blanc that I feel in LOVE with at the winery. Jim got on the list for the grape juice and made like 2 cases of the stuff, but it ended up being dryer than the one at the winery so I used it all summer in sangrias LOL (thanks to Michele Wink

)

I like Pinot Grigio too, but most white wines I like crisp and fruity....

I do like my reds oaky, but not my whites, is that wierd?

Something I haven't tried yet, Cabernet Sauvignon, are those usually dry? or is there a semi-dry to semi-sweet someone could recommend?

I use to only drink white zin...berringers brand. Now I find it too sweet since I started drinking merlot. I prefer the red wines also cuz most of the white wines I've had are dry and i cant like it. Although I did have a Clos de Bois Chardonnay that I enjoyed with my mom once. I think it was chardonnay. shoot, now I can't remember. figures. never mind. Razz

Ah, I understand now Shane. That was an educational (and amusing, lol) rant. I will make sure to not get Chardonnay from California. I like my Scotch oakie, not my wine. I love that butter flavor you get from some wines that you guys have been mentioning. Man, all this talking about it has given me a thirst. Now I'm definitely getting a bottle of wine tonight. Heh.

I am splurging tonight on the way home... I am going to stop and pick up the Vinturi wine aerator (I think I mentioned it before) and do a taste test with a Malbec to see how big of a difference it makes...
