Any Wine Drinkers?

[Chris From Cali]

So I enjoy a glass of wine pretty often. It's one of those, "everyone leave me the hell alone and let me relax" things.

If so what do you vape with it? I find that Duclis or a very weak RY4 will go with most Zinfandels and Chardonnays, I think 555 would be ok as well. Peach does the job and I think almost compliments the wine.

Anyone else?

I do like wine, but only reds unless they are sparkling. I am also more into the sweet smooth wines, and not the crisp, tart ones.

I've never really gotten into the Red Wines but I think I may delve into that realm. I did have some sparkling red wine a couple weeks back at Olive Garden, what was interesting is that it was served cold. Something rare for red wines.

What do you vape with your red wines?

Any suggestion on a good red? (something not to dry)

I recommend vaping a light fruity blend or a vanilla. These will accent the wine nicely, as for recommendation on wine...I will have to get back to you have I look at my stash. lol.

I would think nutty flavors would work well with wine. I'm not a wine drinker myself really, more of a beer and whiskey guy, but I was a bartender at a wine bar for years. One of the "notes" often mentioned is "nutty". I'd imagine that it would compliment well and bring out those flavors. That chilled red wine was more than likely Lambrusco. We always served that chilled.

 

[Chris From Cali]

Yea your right it was Lambrusco.

As for the nutty tastes I also agree, which I why I like the RY4 flavors so long as it's not too strong, to me RY has a nutty type taste to it. (Although everyone has different taste buds)

Never really been a whiskey fan, that is some strong stuff. But then again I've only ever tried the cheap end whiskey, perhaps stepping it up would change my mind.

Yeah, a good ry4 cut with pure pg might be your best bet.

Try sipping some Jameson. Pretty good without being super pricey, but if you've got the cash, try their 12 Y.O. stuff. It's amazing. Buttery, nutty... even more complex than most wines. I haven't had the 15 year stuff, but I imagine it's amazing. Crazy expensive though.

I usually have a glass of Jameson neat to sip with a beer back.

Also, remember that most wine brands want to branch off with sister labels. So you are actually getting the same wine, only cheaper if you buy the sister label. Talk to your winery store clerk and they will help you out.

Hilton or Flue Cured all the way baby with a drink.

Just re-read your posts. For white wines I would definitely go with vanilla, as that's often a flavor associated with whites. Also, read a write up about the wine you're going to drink. Most likely, especially with whites, a fruit will be mentioned. Try a fruit flavor that pairs up with that and I think it would be really good. Almost makes me want to try it, but when I'm drinking wine it's usually red and in small amounts. Wine gives me headaches if I drink too much of it (like more than 2 glasses, while I can endlessly drink beer without getting one), but I really like a robust red with a steak. Usually Montepulciano.

I just had some steak tonight, man it was good. I'll definitely give that a shot and see how it goes.

I hear quite a few people get headaches with wine, I used to but not so much anymore. I can usually pound away 2-3 glasses without an issue. (Except being able to walk straight) I just got back from a cruise to Cabo San Lucas and on our "at sea" day I managed to polish off an entire bottle during dinner. Man that's bad. I thought damn maybe I'm an alcoholic lmao

I wouldn't worry. Even with the headaches I've finished off 2 1/2 before getting too sleepy. That's the other thing, wine makes me much more sleepy than other alcoholic beverages, so it's not so good for social drinking for me either. Beer and whiskey I'll literally drink all day and into the night. If it's gonna be that long a session though (like a bbq or camping trip), I try to keep it to beer so as not to get stupefied.
