#Types of wines full
This red wine is made from a black grape variety, creating a full bodied wines. Pairs well with: Chicken, pork, turkey, German, Indian, and fondue. It can be sweet or very dry, just like my friend from my home town who drank it on the regular. This white wine if very fruity (citrus and peach) and has high acidity. Pairs well with: Salad, mild cheeses, bitter flavors, and handsome wine class instructors. It has delicate citrus and floral notes, is on the drier side, and is very light. High in acidity, low on fruity boldness, this white wine was a surprise to me (a delightful one) when I first started learning about wines. Pairs will with: fish, Vietnamese, goat and nutty cheeses. It is often described as tart and greeny, (you know, like fresh cut grass). Very fruity and acidic with hints of honeydew and kiwi. Pairs well with: Lobster, crab, mushrooms, lunch, and distracted husbands. This white wine also has hints of citrus and tropical fruits. This is the white wine I ended up with, but that’s ok, because it’s great. Pairs well with: Chicken, pork, duck, creamy sauces, and nutty cheeses. This red wine is lighter bodied, fruity (cherry, cranberry), a higher acidity, and softer smooth finish. Pairs well with: Chicken, pork, Thai food, and spodie. Not to be confused by it’s cousin “White Zinfandel” (which is actually pink). It can be medium to full bodied with a medium length finish. This one is spicy, exotic, fruity, and fun at parties. Pairs well with: Beef, white cheddar, smoked meats, and toddler bed-time.Īnother red here. This wine is often described as earthy, and has good aging potential. Our crowd pleaser is also an award winner, and gosh is he good lookin. You may be familiar with our current Syrah, the Swanky Devil. Pairs well with: Pizza, BBQ Chicken, Rack of Lamb,and Filet Mignon. This one is POPULAR! Perhaps the stigma is wearing off…
Now welcome to Potter Wine’s “The Lie Detector” Merlot.
#Types of wines movie
Interestingly, sales of Merlot dropped 2% following the movie “Sideways” in 2004, where the lead declares “NO MERLOT!!!!”. This wine is not considered “dry” (so do we say it’s wet?), and has a medium acidity. It is medium-full bodied and tends to have a higher alcohol level. This popular wine is made from a dark blue grape that is one of the primary grapes used in Bordeaux wines.
Pairs well with: lamb, beef, smoked meats, and cheezits. It contains bold tannins and persistent finish due to higher levels of alcohol.Īnd now introducing – “The Minx” Cabernet. This is full bodied RED (not white, hehe) wine, which also happens to be the most popular wine in the whole wide world. So let’s start there – CABERNET SAUVIGNON Moral of this story, with a little wine knowledge, my husband would have known that I had initially asked for a red wine, and had there not been a Cab (that’s short for Cabernet if you didn’t know) available, then he could have picked a suitable replacement. They rhymed, I guess he got credit for that, and I drank it anyway. When he returned to the truck I asked him sweetly “wth mate?” and he says “See! ‘Chardonnay’, says it right there.” First, my husband should know I prefer red wine, but more importantly I hadn’t said Chardonnay, I said Cabernet. So not only did he get the wine wrong, he manages to even get the COLOR wrong. I see him reach down and grab….WHITE WINE. I see him carefully studying the small selection. I watch him through the window as I had a clear view. I instructed him to find a “CABERNET” because I was in a NO MERLOT kind of mood. Yes I was shopping classy at the gas station, but that’s beside the point. Sidetrack anecdote – My husband (this is Casey btw, not Crystal, so don’t go making fun of Von for this), was sent into the gas station to grab a bottle of RED wine. What more do you need? Well, a good Shiraz to start with! The most popular are definitely (probably?) Merlot and Chardonnay. But there are certainly types of wine that we see commonly.
