I don't drink pigmentally challenged wines. Except for late harvest desert wines.

does that mean you drink red with oysters? dover sole in lemon butter? lobster? and so forth?

how do you select the "proper" red? pinot noir for all?

Well, I don't like oysters, but I've heard that Sauternes goes well with them. Nor do I like dover sole. Lobster needs no accompaniment at all, but a fruity Beaune or other light Pinot Noir or a Beaujolais goes well with it.

In my experience, just about anything that is considered to be a food that goes with a white wine, will go well with a fruity red that has some acidity to it.

90.97% Red
7.94% Whie
1.08& Rose

those are my stats from CellarTracker.

That is just disgusting!

How can you like red wine? It's so wishy-washy!

Red...White...whatever. As long as it flows downhill, I'll drink it. ^

Anywhere there is someone who has put a lot of effort into their white wines, I'll happily taste it and hope that I like it. Normally I find red wines I like more often than whites, but often it comes down to their cellaring potential as we're a buyer for our cellar.

I'll have a crack at semillon and don't hate SB. Will always try a cardonnay but I'm usually thinking of the red option, unless it's an oyster fest or something similar (like the Hilton Melbourne lounge).

Mrs BB has a hankering for cool whites when it's summery, so we usually start on that before getting into the reds.

Some aged semillons from the Hunter Valley can be interesting enough to keep me on the whites.

My philosophy is to be open to good stuff and to just buy what I like and what I know will get better (or at least not embarrass me later on) in the cellar.

There's a time and place for all wines. For every glass of white that I drink, I usually drink 100 glasses of red. The ladies seem to have much more of a thing for white than us guys?

Ditto here. Quite happy with either but red is preferred. And Pinot Noir does not count as a red (or a white)!

So why do you suppose that the term "Burgundy" which is where the greatest expression of Pinot Noir is found, has come to be the generic term used around the world (except for France) for red wine?

I've never seen Reds referred to as Burgundies. Some areas have their own terms (Tinto in Spain), but Burgundy is never the generic term for a Red.

Red wine is my favorite antioxidant delivery system.

Whatever kind of mood you're in tonight... ala Billy Joel.

I have some nice 1983 Romanian white (don't remember the exact name) in my fridge...great sipping wine. However, I like reds too...and rose... and well, blush...oohh lala!
