White wines - which ones do you remember as pleasant?

White wines - which ones do you remember as pleasant?

 

Now I am interested to see what you remember as pleasant.

 

Where are the friends of good wines?

 

Drinking reds.

 

And when I create a poll for red wines - you will tell my that everybody is drinking white wines - or beer only .....

 

I actually like a nice Liebfraumilch. Fruity medium sweet.
Champagne is nice too.
I'm more of a port man really though.

 

Riesling has got TWO votes now.

 

Can't do wine. I am a freak supertaster. Anything with a bitter or tartness to it makes my tongue curl. Most alcohol is that way for me. On the plus side, if I want to drink, the bottom shelf stuff tastes just the same as the top shelf stuff so I am a cheap drunk. I just chug a ton at once and I'm done. I can't "sip" it.

 

I like red and I like it dry. And it can be cheap. Not a fan of white however my daughter brought home a Sake and I rather liked that a bit too much.

 

I can see 2 votes for pinot blanc now as well

 

Maybe you try a really sweet Gewürztraminer once.
There is no bitterness or tartness in it.

 

During my misspent youth I encountered a light sparkling white wine that was palatable. No, I cannot recall the name of it so many decades later. I used to enjoy red wines like pinotage cabernet savignon and merlots/shiraz. After a bout or two of gout I switched to rose's based upon those reds which had the flavor but not the heavy elements that caused the gout.

Time has taken it's toll and now I cannot drink those rose's either so I stick to aged neat Tequila on the Rocks instead.

That doesn't mean I do not appreciate what wine has to offer others, just that I no longer participate. That just means more for the rest of you.

 

I will list those sorts then when a create a poll for the red wines.

 

White "Night Train" (locally known as Train Wreck), high octane AND no silly cork to deal with! On sort of a related note I just bottled up an experimental small batch of homemade mead, liked it enough to have another batch currently fermenting.

 

3 x Riesling
2 x Pinot blanc = Weißburgunder

 

Dry Riesling is about the only white I like. Chateau St. Michelle being my favorite.

 

I normally don't like wine but, when in Germany, at a wine fest, I tried a big mug....yes, mug.....of a very good, sweet white wine, it was a Riesling.

At this wine fest, the servers brought around, wire baskets that held 6 large mugs of wine, I had not seen wine served in large mugs before, mugs at all, for that matter.

 

Maybe it was in the Palatinate?
There they serve wine by the half Liter

 

I wish I could remember the name of the town, we traveled there by bus, a bunch of military men and, their wives , yeah, they probably were half liter mugs.

 

I remember the name of the city where we went for the wine fest, I might not spell it right but, here goes.......Baddirkheim.

 

That will have been at Bad Dürkheim then.

"Bad" here stands for "Bath" or spa

 

Did you also visit the giant "Fass" then and there?

And which do you like in March and for Easter?

 

White wine with the fish!
