It is a middle of the road, somewhat soft- - lightly sweet-- a bit fizzy, never found anyone who did not like it.

Plus its inexpensive, around $10. depends where you live.

Answer 2

Roast Chicken dinner has to call for a Beaujolais.
Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais-Villages 2004
Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
Way under $50., but if we're talking special occasion, Scrap the chicken, pluck a duck and find me a nice Pinot Noir or a great Syrah (in the french style, not an over blown fat fruity Aussie wine)

One bottle for 2 is just enough after dinner I prefer to switch to a nice Muscat with coffee and Creme Brullee

Answer 3

Wow I couldn't imagine spending $50 on a bottle of wine - that's almost 1/2 my weekly food budget. I'm imagining that your income is quite a bit higher than mine, but I'll answer anyway bearing in mind that my cutoff is usually $10 a bottle and that's when I decide to splurge...

Anyway, my current favorite red is Big House Red. I forget the winery it's from, but it's a blend from California, comes with a screw top. Really robust, spicy, and full-bodied. That's what I like in a wine because I tend to eat pretty full-flavored and spicy foods, and this wine can stand up to it.

Answer 4

Personally i prefer a nice pinot noir with that kinda meal. Its a very subtle red n won't over power the chicken. Plus u can find some not so pricey bottles that don't taste like paint thinners.

Answer 5

Wine is subjective. What one guy or woman likes won't attraction to a distinctive. i'll tell you my favorites and why. For white wine, i actually get exhilaration from white blends. Conundrum (was Caymus Conundrum, yet now could be it is own producer) is a mix of Chardonnay, Semillon, Muscat, Sauvignon Blanc, and Viognier. it quite is a nicely balanced wine it is trouble-free to drink via itself and is going super with many distinctive ingredients yet particularly shellfish and brighter sauces and mild-weight meats. I additionally like the Fess Parker White Reisling. it quite is off dry, somewhat candy, in comparison to maximum resilings, and delightful to get exhilaration from on my own or with food besides. For pink wine I frequently like Pinot Noir or Burgundy, old Vine Zinfandel, Shiraz, Syrah and Petite Syrah. those are extra complicated tome and function a stronger selection of style profiles counting on the place they cam from, classic and lots of alternative factors. all the above pronounced varieties of wine are of actually low to medium fee for the main section. counting on despite if or not they're New international (California, Argentina, Chile, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa)) or old international (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Hungary) you may often locate maximum of those wine at modest expenditures.

Answer 6

Greg Norman's Cabernet/Merlot Blend -good drinking wine cuz the cab keeps the merlot from being too sweet, semi dry and fruity.$18
Red Diamond Merlot - think this is the one I had, used to be only available to restrauants but now sold to stores -- went to buy it and was all sold out =(

Answer 7

My favourite would be a Chateauneuf du Pape, such as Saint Clémentin Châteauneuf-du-Pape, 2003, described as a "Richly rewarding Châteauneuf-du-Pape in "one of the finest vintages in living memory", and sold for around $20 a bottle in the UK, but in real life I go to my local supermarket here and buy a litre (2.11 US pints) box of red wine for 0.45 € (45 Eurocents, or about 30p UK or 57 cents US) and can enjoy more of it for my buck!
