My "wine profile"

Everybody has their own unique taste, right?

I'm no different, and while I'm on a mission to try ALL the things when it comes to wine, I have my favorites. It's probably worth spelling out some of those things from the get-go so, ya know, you can better understand where I might be coming from with my wine opinions.

Reds

-My usual go-to
-I like fruity, as long as it's not so one-note as to be boring
-Old World over New World
-Either give me at least a medium body, or make it so silky smooth that I don't miss the extra heft
-A real weakness for earthy, savory, herby wines
-Not so tannic that I pucker
-Absolute faves: Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Cote-du-Nuits Burgundy (and other earthy pinot noirs), Argentine Malbec, Uruguayan Tannat

Whites

-Can't beat a chilled, refreshing white in the summer
-I love fish and seafood, which usually play well with white
-I don't like sweet whites...moscato is NOT my scene
-Without factoring in food, I like florid, rich whites that are still crisp
-Absolute faves: Alsatian Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer, Austrian Gruner Veltliner, Macon from Burgundy (chardonnay), Argentine Torrontes
