What's your wine Guilty Pleasure?

Occasional infanticide, especially with pinot noir.

Sometimes…Frosé.

Karl’s Junior Super Star with Lynch Bages.

Sneaking a crap wine into a tasting line up and seeing what hilarity ensues.

Champagne in a tall flute.

Opening a great bottle when everyone is already over-served.

Ordering wine from the wine list at a restaurant, or going with the “food and wine pairing” supplement.

Frosé is a good one … honestly that’s just a less sweet daiquiri/etc, so I don’t feel THAT bad about anything but butchering a wine.

Major props.

SQN stickies poured over vanilla ice cream. Try it, you’ll like it.

At a good restaurant, the Chef’s tasting menu paired with wine. Always a credit card crusher, but we remember every one we’ve ever had.

I disdain contrarians.

Not only is the drink generous, so is the occasion. I equate Port and other desert wines with a dinner party that’s so much fun no one wants it to end. That’s when I most often pull out a Port or Sauternes: when it’s late, everyone is still having a great time, and there’s a collective push to keep the conversation going just a bit longer.

Same, but with cheap Provence rose. We go through boatloads of rose in the summers

With Chambertin. pileon

I drank a Cape Mentelle rose (Australia) tonight and enjoyed the heck out of. Good for a $12 bottle of wine. Good enough that I bought a case. I will need more soon.

Mostly non-wine things. Cider… I actually really like the Stella Artois Cidre, which isn’t really cider but is refreshing.

This.

Thirteen winos twelve years ago was hella memorable.

Probably drinking Gato Negro Sav Blanc while cooking, half for the recipe and the rest for me.

I prefer a 2001 D’Yquem and a 1963 Fonseca poured over my six scoop sundae thanks

My wife is a lapsed catholic, so I don’t have to do guilt because she has more than enough for both of us.

Please remind her; it’s not guilt, it’s shame.

I do have a regular wine tasting group but really don’t know the concept of a guilty pleasure. We have been drinking wine together for a very long time pretty much know each other’s wine preferences, warts and all. I cannot think of a wine I like that I feel a need to hide from group members.

Any wine from my cellar with pizza. Last night it was 1987 Laurel Glen cabernet, 1990 Ch Montrose, and 2017 Schramsberg BdB. We enjoyed all three!
