What is everyones favorite wine?

Dampsquid

Mine would have to be

Concha y Toro Sunrise Chardonnay.
Its not too sweet or strong, goes down very easily.

Kell

It's a close call but the finish looks something like this-

1st- Chateu Leoville Poyferré (Bordeux)
2nd- Chassagne Montrachet (Burgundy)
3rd- Clos De Pape (Has to be Paul Avril), Burgundy

I wouldnt really know many wines, but i've been known to swallow a couple a bottles of Lambrusco tho....

its really easy to drink...
oh and its cheap as chips.

Red : Chateau Musar

White : Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc

Having said which, I'm not sure I should even call them favourites, cause in any particular setting (with food, location, and weather all figuring into it) I might go for something completely different.

I'm currently very partial to a Spanish (red) wine, sold in Superquinn for about €8.50..
It's Vina Albali Gran Reserva ~1995.
Very tasty..

Less in-expensive (and thus less drunk), Chateau Neuf de Pape.
Superb stuff...

I like your style. Can you do me a favour and tell me where one can get ones hands on the elusive Cloudy Bay Sav Blanc? It rates as my fav white (Along with Waireau River, another Marlborough Valley) but I havent had any in years and havent a clue where to get it.

only a certain amount of cloudy bay comes into ireland each year with only certain off-licences allocated bottles... it keeps up this whole "wine of the people in the know" thing...well thats my opinion... it just seems like a wine to drop the name of to me... it also retails at over €20 a bottle which is mighty expensive to be drinking on a regular basis

dampsquid did you see that they've stopped making the sunrise chardonnay you mentioned, not stopped as such but stopped the name 'sunrise' being used

its now an orange label with just concha y toro chardonnay on it, i think instead of 'sunrise' its 'copper gold' or something... same wine but diff. packaging, i think its suicide myself because it was such a popular wine

personally, my fave wine is santa rita 120 sauv. blanc
i always enjoy it and its nice and cheap, €8.95

i forgot to say , you'd probs be best off waiting for next years batch to be delivered before looking for cloudy bay

I found it occasionally in Oddbins on Baggot St, I think, but mostly it was from a wine shop in Galway where my sis got it for me. Not even sure of the shop, Im afraid, but I think its over Salthill way.

I'm not in Ireland at the mo, Im doing a stint in Switzerland, and I've vounf two shops that stick it regularly, at about 60% of the irish cost... so Im happy

Oddbins also stock a wine called Clifford Bay which is actually pretty close to Couldy Bay in style. Worth checking out if they have it.

Thanks Bonkey and Polarbelly. Another lil gem if any of you have tried it, is the Brown Brothers Tarrango. It's something along the lines of a Sancerre Rouge, drunk chilled and deliciously fruity. Their Chenin Blanc kicks ass as well.

Mine is the one that cost like 500 euro a bottle they always taste good.
