Your recommendation for a wine purely for drinking - Page 2

post #16 of 19
+1 on warm weather drinking of a cool, crisp Riesling and +1 on not needing to break the $20 barrier to get a good one, either from France, Germany, or the US. Offerings by Schloss and Loosen are my "go to" ones.

I have also been enjoying some S. American whites, specifically a Torrentes from Argentina by Fantelli Wines.

I think it was a 300-level Psych class made up of about 150 kids including my roommate and the professor, while a nice enough guy, constantly came to completely questionable conclusions on questionable studies. My roommate and I quickly realized that we were being subjected to a 300-level cocktail course and treated it as such (hence the required Riesling at lunch). He and I would take turns trying to outdo each other on bets every time the class met. One day I bet him that I could go the entire lecture wearing a fake mustache and circa-1987 neon yellow sunglasses and the professor wouldn't even flinch. I never lost my bets. Back to the OP, Gewurztraminers are another good idea and +1 to Moscatos. For drinkability, stick with sweeter whites. Reds can be a bit complicated but I find Riojas to be the sweeter, fruitier choice for an easy drink.

Portuguese Vino Verde, light, refreshing, under $10, and just a hint of bubbles.

Trader Joe's had a Vino Verde for $5 recently. It was quite good.
