  • I love whites... specifically any sauvignon blancs from New Zealand (completely different from sauv blans from California, Chile, etc.). Also I'm relatively new to the rose bandwagon but I really like them, as long as they aren't too sweet! I would drink more red but I hate the way it stains my teeth & lips.
  • I love whites, I have yet to find a red that I can drink without making a face.

    If you ever get a chance, try Roaring Meg from NZ.  We tried it in a restaurant here and ended up ordering a case because we couldn't find it in the liquor store.

  • All of it.  Dry, semi-dry, sweet, semi-sweet.  Red or white, doesn't matter.  Rose is just meh, but I'll still drink it. 
    The only wine that isn't my favorite are dry whites, but I will still try them and have a glass if that's my only option.

  • Sweet whites all the way.  A local winery here does a dessert wine that's a blend of Gewurtztraminer and Riesling and it is like bottled alcoholic candy.  Best.

  • I cannot wrap my head around someone not liking wine.  I think most people who say they don't like wine just haven't found their favourite yet.
