I retract my insult. Should we start a new wine thread so we can discuss this more or should we just take this thread over with wine recommendos back and forth.
i didn't notice an insult.
i don't like malbecs. or at least i haven't really liked any malbecs i've tried. haven't tried a bunch. not a big fan of anything south american really.
big fan of grenache and grenache blends, mostly spanish and french. nothing high alcohol%. also lightweight italians, don't know the grapes. mostly cava on the sparkling side, vinho verde in the summer, prosseco and french, but usually just when i see something that looks like a good deal. cava usually has a better price/quality ratio.
i also drink a lot of cheap wine, just cause it's cheap.
i can name a few brands, etc. if those taste profiles sound something like yours. keep in mind i'm cheap. i'm not going to give you great wine recs. but i can recommend good wines at good prices.
