Your favorite everyday wines

WINE TALK
1

What do you all like to drink as an everyday wine? What is your go-to after a long day of work?

Not the special bottles that you bring up from the cellar on a special occasion, but something you find yourself drinking regularly.

For myself - I am particular to Feudi Del Duca Montepulciano D’Abruzzo for an everyday wine as it is produced in my family’s region of Italy. It is a great everyday wine and won’t break the wallet by any means.

Also, when I can get my hands on it, I enjoy some Aglianico from Vigne Irpine.

Let’s hear your favorite everyday wines!

Got some help in that department a while back: The search for daily drinkers..... - WINE TALK - WineBerserkers

Found a very good lighter bodied Cab at a sponsored dinner a week or so ago: Daou. It would have beaten out the 4 contestants in the $25 Cab-Off we had earlier this month: $25 California Cab-off - WINE TALK - WineBerserkers

However, my favorite after work snack is Arrowood Monte Rosso from '01 or '03 paired with onion & fig jam and cloth wrapped Cabot.

My go to twist off’s

Tait The Ball Buster Shiraz Blend
Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc

Right now it is:

Felsina CC or CCR
Collestefano Verdicchio
Wagner-Stempel or Schafer-Frohlich Riesling Trocken

5

Pepiere Muscadet for me. Any of a number of really nice but not expensive Oregon Pinots. Drink a lot of lower priced Riojas as well.

Someone likes Daou. Nice to see.

Haven’t seen much mention of it here; maybe once or twice. Let’s keep it to ourselves. [cheers.gif]

Bedrock & Carlisle do the trick.

Ch Lamartine Cahors (the standard bottling) - a very appetising wine for ~ £10 a bottle

Any Moscato d’Asti I can get my hands on

Bleasdale ‘Frank Potts’

White: German Riesling trocken, Pinot Blanc or Pinot Gris

I frequent these…
Roederer Brut Anderson Valley
Fevre Champs Royaux
Dupeuble Beaujolais
Thivin CdB Cru Beaujolais
Toad Hollow Chardonnay
Vietti Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco and other cheaper Nebbis

I love drinking Kabinetts from producers like Schloss Lieser, Zilliken and Rheinhold Haart.
Dublere Bourgogne Blanc
Good Bourgogne or Passtoutsgrain or even Savigny les Beaune from producers like Henri Jouan, Charlopin, Dublere or Jadot. Or 2007 PV Illes des Vergellesses from Chandon des Briailles.
Produttori del Barbaresco

13

Chappellet Mountain Cuvee is an amazing go to for me now.

14

Plenty of diversity here for sure. Let’s keep it going!

15

This is a really nice every day drinker for <$20. I try to always have a couple bottles chillin’ - Château de La Greffiere Mâcon La Roche-Vineuse Vieilles Vignes.

16

My wife loves Cosentino Reserve Pinot as a DD. have bought 2012 and 2013 via WTSO. Around 15 a bottle . I love the no tax, free shipping, and not having to go to the store.

17

Some of my faves have already been mentioned here (Felsina CC, Vietti Nebbiolo Langhe). Lower end Chablis or Bourgogne Blanc (Eg Piuze) are great.

But I still try to live by ‘make any day special’ and open whatever I am in the mood for.
