whats the best tasting wine?

Answer 1

As a wine consultant, I have to tell, it depends on what your tastes are. Personally, there is nothing better than an Ontario Icewine - that is why they keep winning the medals. However, if you like red wines and are just starting out drinking wines, I would recommend starting with a Merlot or a Pinot Noir. Neither of those are typically oaked so they're not heavy and they don't make you feel like your drinking a meal in themselves. However, if you're not new to wines and like reds, try a California Zinfandel (the red kind not the white kind which is actually a Rose wine).

On the other hand, if you like white wines, I would start out with either a Sauvignon Blanc or a Vidal or a Gewurztraminer and then move my way up to an oaked Chardonnay. Any of these kinds from Ontario, Canada are great or try New York State wines or Australia. One thing I would suggest to you is check out the website below. There are some articles on wine that might help.

Answer 2

The absolute best tasting wine in the world is Unoaked Red Deer Merlot, It doesn't give you the next morning headache and goes great with any cut of meat or even just as an evening drink.

Answer 3

wine, like women, are liked or disliked from a personal view or taste in this case. Cost, red / white is all a personal taste choice. Just because it cost a lot does not mean You will like it. Buy and drink the wine You Like, and don't worry about other peoples opinion about you choice in wine! Cheers

Answer 4

It depends on your taste--do you like red or white, what's your budget (a $100 bottle will taste a heck of a lot better than a $10 bottle)...etc, etc.....

Here are my personal faves:
Silver Oak Cabernet
Pine Ridge Cabernet
Opus One Cabernet
Chateau St. Jean Chardonnay
Joseph Phelps Insignia Cabernet---voted wine of the year for 2005
Chateau Montelena Zinfandel
Artesa Pinot Noir
Robert Mondavi Cabernet

Answer 5

Enough people like French Bordeaux and Burgundies to pay over $100 a bottle for them, so one could claim they are. (WELL over $100 in some cases - one Burgundy lists for $1,500 per bottle.)

A better question would have been:

"What wine goes with {main dish / event}, costs around {x} dollars a bottle and is easily available in {city, state} ?

or

"I'm just getting into wine tasting. What is a reliable brand name in the {x - y} per bottle price range, readily available in {...} ?

If you've tried some wines already and like them, mentioning them would help too.

Some wines don't go well with main dishes, so I used "event". A glass of port and a cigar is a classic finish to a great meal. Gewurztraminer is a wonderful wine for a hot tub or watching the sunset. It doesn't go that well with steak.

Answer 6

I like the Merlots from coastal Oregon and Washington and from Chile. The grapes are grown in more acidic soil (due to nearby active volcanoes) that give the wine a nice little bite. Concha Y Toro from Chile is one of my favorites.

Red Merlot from Australia. Blue Penguin is one of my favorites
