1. Oooooh! I'll never say no to a Muga. Their Riojas make me crazy - in a good way. I'm excited to see they do a Rosé.

2. I guess the question is: If you like chardonnay and the oakey, buttery taste, would you like rioja wines from the temperanella areas of Spain.

3. I have a question: I love buttery oakey chardonnays and don't like sweet wines, but I keep hearing about rioja wine and others and was wondering if these are valid wines for a chard lover. Thanks for your response if you can help Marla

4. Marla G, tempranillo is a type of grape not a region of Spain. It's called tinto fino in the Ribera del Duero, nearly every single Rioja (red) will use tempranillo. but to answer your question, someone who shows a heavy preference to a particular wine is not really a wine drinker. The drinker you described would be considered a week-end chardonnay drinker, one who does so socially, but not seriously.

7. Marla G, don't listen to that, maybe butter and oak is just your comfort level. I would suggest staying with a Provence rose like Petale de Rose or eying out a light to medium colored french rose. If you like that type of chard usually you should explore the Burgundy region and there whites, it would be a great chard 201. Cheers, Laura

9. Rhonda,
Try a Sauterne from the Bordeaux region of France. It is a sweet wine intended for dessert. The color of the wine starts out very pale yellow and as, it matures, turns slowly into a deep golden yellow, golden in color and golden in taste and perfect for you. Try to drink it below room tempature yet not chilled.

10. I was disappointed that you did not mention Barefoot White Zinfindel, it is actually the best I have ever tasted and the price is only 4.99

11. You can't go wrong with the Barefoot (California) merlot or their Chardonnay for the price----- I pick it up for my college student so she doesn't come home and get into mine!!!!!!!

12. I Love Sutter Home White zinfindel and Chadonnay how come it is not popular as a low cost wine.....

13. i also was a strong fan of the barefoot, chardonnay, merlot, blanc however in the last six months or so I have been disappointed in two or three bottles, a young? bitter after taste is what i recall... anyone else found this in the last six to nine months?

14. YOU, the person drinking the wine, decides what
is the best tasting wine for yourself.
Buy white wine based on latest production and
price. Buy red wine 4 to 6 yrs. old and, of
course, depending on your wallet size.
You cannot ever be wrong with a good Cabernet
Sauvignon or a fine Chardonney. California wines are very good. Try Chilean wines vs French and do not forget Portuguese and wines
from Spain and Italy. Sweet wines: German
wines, of course. Cheers !
